"i&#039;ve had the implanon in my arm for 3 years now ending next month april 2014. i will have it removed and not continue to use it. there are pros and cons. pros: of course i am not pregnant so if you want a trust worthy contraceptive and don&#039;t mind the side effects then this is it. however, when i got it in inserted in 2011, i was 19. i broke out like crazy gained a lot of weight didn&#039;t have my period for like a year and then it would come like 4 times a year. most importantly i feel like i am crazy! i have crazy mood swings when i think of sex i just want to throw up  (hence sex drive gone). i want to be normal again. i give it an 8 because it&#039;s a great product. to me acne weight gain is not a problem and i never got pregnant having sex."
