"i decided on implanon in nov 2010 and here i am in april 2011. the process was easy and it didn&#039;t hurt just a pinch and done. i do have some cramps but no period after a month. no mood swings or weight gain. i have lost weight. so far i love it. i recommend it to anyone who has tried other birth controls. this for me has been the best and it lasts 3 yrs. bonus."
