"i got implanon because i had a horrible time with the shot, i forget pills since i can&#039;t have my phone at work to remind me. i&#039;m allergic to adhesive and i have short fingers. i liked it ok at first, had some minor vertigo and nausea when the hormones began kicking in. i&#039;m almost at a year now, and so far i&#039;ve gained about 20 pounds and have not changed my eating or exercise habits, and every few months i end up thinking i&#039;m pregnant. for the last month or so i&#039;ve had the worst cramps i&#039;ve ever had, my breasts hurt constantly, and still having vertigo and nausea. hoping my medical will let me have it removed. i&#039;m not telling people not to get it as i know many people have a good reaction, according to my doctor my body is overreacting."
