"i got the implanon 41/2 months ago and let&#039;s just say i don&#039;t hate it but i don&#039;t love it. the good part was it made my period super light and a few times i didn&#039;t get my period at all. i have always had really bad cramps when i got my period, but when i got the implanon it went away. the only side effects i did not like was i got really bad acne, not just on my face but on my back and chested as well. i&#039;ve gained a lot of weight and i have been getting headaches and been moody. i think implanon is a really good birth control, but i just don&#039;t think its good enough for me. i&#039;m thinking of getting it removed and going back on loestrin 24fe. the pill worked better for me. i was good at remembering to take my pill. i hope this helped."
