Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had the Implanon put in 2011 and taken out 2013. Then the Explanon put in 2014 and taken out today 10/19/2016. As far as preventing pregnancy and no period (for me), it&#039;s exceptional. BUT I&#039;ve gained 40 pounds over the course of 2 years and it&#039;s nearly impossible to lose weight while on this birth control. Also, I did get break outs on my face from bad acne from time to time. Now, I&#039;m currently getting ready to try the &quot;mini pill&quot;."
