"i have 5 children &amp; am 42 years old. my partner has had a vasectomy. i&#039;ve never had a regular period - and have no interest in getting one now. so - i do not want a period.  after my son was born 6 years ago - i went on the mirena iud - no period was awesome &amp; lasted 5 years.  last year i changed to the implanon - i have had no period and of course no pregnancy.  but, in the past 6 months have gained 20 lbs!  my hair &amp; skin are extremely oily. acne is horrible. and i fear i&#039;ve had many of the other symptoms and just never thought implanon could be a reason for moods, headaches, sore breasts, extreme weight gain and acne. i think it&#039;s time to remove but i don&#039;t want a period."
