"i got the implanon implanted in december 2009 and at 1st i hated it. now after a year i&#039;m starting to like it. for the 1st 6 or 7 months my periods were irregular and almost constant. i also gain 30pounds. my skin has always had problems with eczema, but once i went on this birth control it went crazy with rash covering my whole body. now that i&#039;ve had it for more then 9 months i have my complete sex drive back, bleeding has come more regular but still kind of crazy, my skin has cleared up and i&#039;m feeling less depressed. so i agree with most of the doctors when they say stick it out because it does it better and with all the side effects it has given me i still think it is better than having to take a pill every day."
