"i had got the implanon back in 2008 until 2011. i loved it. didn&#039;t get a period for a whole year. i would spot occasionally and maybe where a panty liner. when i did get a period it didn&#039;t last long, about 3-4 days not heavy. after i removed it i got pregnant 5 months after. got the nexplanon after my 2nd. i&#039;ve had it for a year. don&#039;t get much of a period but i get bloated and heavy cramps when i&#039;m supposed to be on it. i&#039;ve gained like 20lbs as well.  and my hormones are all over the place.  my first experience wasn&#039;t this bad. my self confidence has gone down so much, as i get bloated. i&#039;m so tired and don&#039;t want to do anything and laying on my belly hurts."
