Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had the Implanon for just over a year now, and it&#039;s been very effective in preventing pregnancy. I originally went on it because I kept forgetting to take the pill and was always paranoid. I get spotting often and light but frequent periods, which is annoying. Also, my skin isn&#039;t good these days and I believe that it&#039;s due to the Implanon. I did not gain weight, actually lost 5kgs, however I&#039;ve been eating well and exercising. I can&#039;t imagine weight gain occurring if a person is active and eating well. No change in moods - I was already irritable prior. Think I&#039;m going to have this taken out to balance my hormones."
