birth control
"Loved it as a contraceptive, didn't so much love the weight gain. Didn't get pregnant so it did the job! I suffered severe ovarian cysts in the past (3 surgeries before age 17) and was on Microgynon 30/50 tablets for 4 years. Decided to opt for Implanon purely for convenience, and initially it was terrific. No side effects except weight gain. I had it from January 2014 to December 2014, had one period in that time (used to be 28 days on the dot). Absolutely fantastic, but I was slowly gaining weight despite eating the healthiest I have and going to the gym at least three times a week. Spoke to my Doc, she said I was unfortunately in the teeny tiny minority that just packed on weight. Whipped it out there and then, now back on Microgynon."
