"i&#039;ve had implanon for almost 2 years now and its not that bad really. i&#039;ve gained 40 pounds and even though i exercise daily. my acne got worse sadly. when i started i had my period for a month straight, now its normal for the most part i get it for 7 days instead of 3 days. my sex drive isn&#039;t really that high either which i don&#039;t mind but not my boyfriend. overall i just like the idea of how i don&#039;t have to remember to take it or anything."
