birth control
"This website has reassured me that I am not crazy! I had Implanon inserted in February 2011. Insertion was fairly painless, it took months of getting used to it in my arm. My periods were unpredictable but not constant. However, the biggest side effect for me was the weight gain, 30 pounds in a year. I made my appointment to have it removed last month, my doctor did not want to remove it. She told me that weight gain is not a side effect, I just need to exercise. I had it removed anyway. I found this website with reviews from women with my experiences and I am so grateful! Implanon is effective, but the weight gain and mood change was not worth it for me in the end."
