"i have used implanon for 8 years now. i had it removed for a short period to have our first child and will be getting this one removed in 2 days to conceive our 2nd child. honestly, i cannot complain. i don&#039;t get my periods, i don&#039;t have mood swings and the weight i gained i lost with a little bit of effort (mind you it was only 5kg). at the end of the day is was a good choice for me as i continually forgot to take my oral contraception. for anyone out there who has the same problem try implanon."
