"i had the implant in for 7 months and took it out because of the side effects, i might as well have been pregnant with the way it made me feel. i was so hormonal and had constant headaches and i gained 27 lbs without a diet change, i tried exercising more than normal and i continued to gain weight. i do not recommend it. i could feel a burning sensation all the way down my arm and up into my chest. there was just so much stuff happening that no one warned me about!"
