birth control
"I had my Implanon inserted in November 2 years ago. I have been waiting and waiting, thinking my body would get used to this. It hasn't at all. Before the Implanon, I was on Yaz. I had no acne, very light periods lasting 3-4 days, no weight gain, no mood swings, nothing. I just had a big problem with remembering to take the pill. So I decided to switch to Implanon since I wouldn't have to remember anything. I now have horrible acne, I have gained about 15 pounds, I have bad mood swings and my periods are absolutely terrible. I will have heavy bleeding for about a week, then light bleeding for another week, and then spotting for another week. I'll be off for about 2 weeks, then start the whole cycle over again."
