"after having my daughter in 07 i decided to go with the implanon rod which my doctor recommended after they discovered i had endometriosis.   reading over everyone&#039;s comments i see that a lot of people complain over weight gain/loss and depression but to my surprise i&#039;ve never experienced it.  the only thing that i could really agree on is when your cycle can last a long time or you can be very fatigued.  well since my 3 yrs were up in oct 2010 i did become one of the few to get the rod replaced and continue on with it.  i&#039;m hoping though that over time i will no longer need this rod and continue on with a normal life.  this rod is a wonderful thing and i wouldn&#039;t trade it at all."
