"i got the implanon about a year ago. i gained about 30 lbs. turned into a emotional wreck! i never was like this until i started using the implanon as my birth control. i can not lose weight! everything i eat sticks to me! i can eat 1 meal a day and still not lose. when i first got on the implanon i didn&#039;t have my period for the first couple of months so i thought it was awesome, then i started getting my period for 2. 5 weeks at a time...i am getting this out next week!"
