"i had the implanon implant inserted in april of 2009.  i have gained 12 pounds. i can&#039;t lose the weight though i work out 3 to 4 days a week. i have ridiculous food cravings.  i can&#039;t eat enough carbs! my breasts stay so tender and i have zero sex drive.  this is horrible as i am a newlywed.  i started to spot so my gyn had me on the vivelle dot for 3 months. after going to the er with a migraine, i stopped the estrogen patch. i have now been spotting for 6 weeks with weeks of significant bleeding. i can&#039;t wait to have this removed. oh and did i mention the anxiety!"
