"i&#039;ve had implanon since 2007 and it has been better then the depo shot. i did gain a little weight and i have been bleeding a lot but it&#039;s not as bad as the shot where i had more mood swings and cried all the time for nothing. overall i like this one better because i am not good at remembering to take a pill but i am about to get it taking out because i can&#039;t handle the bleeding. it just has been getting worse and it&#039;s almost time for it to be out anyway."
