birth control
"Had Implanon 08/08 - 08/11. From the start, I had spotting/full period 3 weeks out of the month, then two months a year I would have zero spotting or no period at all. No bad side effects until the last year. Started having cramps, heavier periods, and bad mood swings. Over the 3 years I gained 65lbs despite a healthy diet and exercise routine. When seeing my doctor last week to remove it, she instantly commented on the weight gain and said she attributes it to the Implanon. The bleeding and weight gain were just not worth it. It was inconvenient so I am switching back to the pill."
