"my experience with implanon has been a good one. all the mishaps i&#039;ve had were things i&#039;d been warned about by my doctor.
negativs: bled for the first three weeks, sporadically spot (particularly when i gain a few pounds), a little loss of sex drive
positives: simple, easy, effective

i&#039;ll elaborate a bit on the negatives. after the first three weeks i stopped having a period for about 4 months. during this time i lost about 10 pounds (not because of the birth control but because i was trying to). whenever i go over around 130 i become susceptible to spotting. with the sex drive, i would assume not having the hormone boost during menstration is to blame. sex is still good and i still want it, it&#039;s just a little change."
