"i have been on implanon for 6 months and it was a wonderful experience. from the time of insertion, i&#039;ve only had two periods. i don&#039;t get periods anymore and there&#039;s only slight discharge more often. i&#039;ve had slight weight gain and a little acne problems. i have had pain at the site of insertion or my lower abdomen but nothing serious. i would recommend this for anyone looking to use birth control, i personally love the implanon."
