"this birth control is amazing. i had implanon inserted while i was on my period and it actually stopped the next day. i haven&#039;t had one since. i&#039;ve experienced some minor spotting, but it&#039;s nothing to cry over. i&#039;ve had no mood swings or weight gain. the only down side i&#039;ve experienced has been some nausea (particularly in the morning). it typically goes away after an hour or so though. i would most certainly recommend this form of birth control."
