Birth Control
"I got the implanon about 4 years ago and at first I thought it was great. The pill was giving me serious migraines so that&#039;s why I made the switch. For those four years I had the most irregular periods (some lasting months at a time, and then not having one at all for 3 months). I kept thinking it would get better, but it didn&#039;t. Weight gain was another noticeable problem. Gained 40lbs. I didn&#039;t blame the implanon until I started doing research and noticed that was a top complaint amongst women who used it. Mind you, I tried to lose weight by dieting and exercise and I kept gaining. So I made an appt. to get it taken out. Back on a low dose pill and feel SO much better. No headaches and down 6lbs in a little over a month!"
