"let&#039;s be honest, there is not one birth control that will work for every woman. you have to just try and see what works best for you and your body. i got my implanon in january of 2010, a few months after having my son. insertion was super easy, the anxiety was the worst part. i do have spot bleeding every few weeks but no need for tampons anymore, just the miniature liners which i keep in my purse. no weight gain, i actually work out on a regular basis and have continued to see my weight go down. i did have irregular periods the first year i had it and that was annoying but every birth control has it&#039;s downsides so it&#039;s up to you to pick which side effect you can live with. i say if the other bc&#039;s haven&#039;t worked for you, give it a shot!"
