birth control
"I am on my second Implanon. The first Implanon was a dream: no periods, no spotting, no maintenance, insertion was easy, bone density returned after 8 years on Depo, no mood swings. The only bad part was removal: I (intentionally) gained about 30lbs while on Implanon and the doctor had a hard time removing the implant: multiple incisions and significant discomfort. The site was sore for weeks. And now 3 months into my 2nd Implanon I am getting side effects: constant light bleeding (2 months so far), tender breasts, cramps, mood swings and depression...I loved it the first time and still recommend Implanon, but this is just a wake up call that it's not for everyone...and the way your body reacts can change!"
