"i&#039;m getting my implanon taken out after three years. these three years have been a journey. first year, i had a period or spotting for a month straight! it was miserable then my period would come and go unexpectedly. second year, i barely had a period at all! which i liked but then again i got worried but eventually it came back. now this year is the same, i would spot every now and then but never nothing serious. over the three years, i went from weighing 120 to 141 so yeah you will gain weight mostly in the first year. but hey i have some meat on my bones now so i&#039;m fine with the weight gain. overall implanon is a great birth control. i would recommend it every woman looking for a good birth control."
