"after a scare i needed birth control asap. i read a lot of reviews which really scared me especially after 2 horror experiences on the pill, i was on loette a low dose pill, and yasmin. i was an emotional wreck  9kgs. so i got the implanon and i&#039;m so happy i did, it lasts 3 years, my emotional state is 99% stable and 1% is like pms, libido is a little lower, did bleed lightly for 2 weeks but haven&#039;t had a period since which i love, fertility is back to normal once taken out. i don&#039;t have to worry about becoming pregnant and i generally feel like me. everyone is different but don&#039;t be scared to try its progesterone only, no estrogen. i lost 6kgs before the implanon and was scared i&#039;d put it back on but i slowly continued to lose 2kg more."
