"so i got the implant in july of 2015. at first i was feeling okay, but after a couple weeks i think i became depressed. i get very moody and very impatient really fast. i don&#039;t get as happy as much anymore. i get periods, but they are very light and once a month 4/5 days. i&#039;ve gained at least six of seven pound from the implant. i also got weird discharge at first i talked to my gyno about it and she said it was perfectly normal with the implant to have darker discharge. the implant works very well. i think i will probably keep the implant in for a couple more months to see if the side effects get better or go away."
