"i have had both good and bad experiences with the implant. my first implant (implanon) was great. i would rarely get periods, no weight gain, acne or any side effects really. my second implant (nexplanon) has been the worst experience ever. since getting the implant three months ago i&#039;ve had constant bleeding, weight gain, acne, major mood swings, unbearable cramps everyday, no energy and i&#039;ve constantly been feeling down. i will definitely be getting it removed asap and i doubt i will be trying it again any time soon. however, after having such a good experience first time round, i would still recommend it as a good form of birth control, especially if you&#039;re like me and would forget to take a pill everyday."
