"i&#039;ve been on implanon for about a month and a half. i also have read all the horrible reviews but i still decided to give it a try since everyone&#039;s body responds differently. for the first month i didn&#039;t have any spotting or period but when the time was due for when my usual period came around i started to spot. it&#039;s not heavy but itw annoying because i ruined all my pretty underwear! i haven&#039;t gained weight, and i think a lot of women like to blame birth control for their absent minded decisions. i haven&#039;t experienced any mood swings but i am a lot more sensitive. what i mean by this is if there is something sad on the news i start tearing up. the only downside of this bc is the spotting. other than that i think it&#039;s great. no pregnancy :)"
