"i&#039;ve had it for 2 weeks so far no side effects yay!!! i don&#039;t get why people keep it in for years if it has crazy side effects like weight gain, suicide etc? the moment i gain 5 lbs i&#039;m getting it out. i have a very very regular workout and diet schd. the only pills that worked for me we&#039;re yasmin and mini pill but i kept forgetting to take it after my sons birth hence the implanon."
