"i&#039;m definitely considering getting my implanon removed. i was fine for the first couple of months but now i am noticing all of the negative side effects i am experiencing. i&#039;ve had it for about 9 months now and i&#039;ve gained about 12 pounds. i&#039;m already uncomfortable with my weight so this makes it worse. on top of that i have been getting very depressed and moody. i still have crazy periods and am on one of the heaviest periods i&#039;ve ever had and its very painful. weight gain, low sex drive, acne, depression, mood swings, headaches, and crazy periods.... i&#039;m fed up. the positive is that i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant and don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill everyday."
