Birth Control
"I got my Implanon put in March 2010  because I didn&#039;t get on with the contraceptive pill. I read a lot of reviews before I had the implant and was terrified about weight gain side effects. I was always quite hormonal when I was due my period so that didn&#039;t bother me too much. Since I have had my implant it has been brilliant, when I first got it my appetite did increase a lot and I did put on about 5kg but I exercised and ate sensibly and it soon came off again. I bleed about once every 3-4 months for around 10 days but it is light. The insertion of the implant didn&#039;t hurt. The area was just tender for a few days. I really recommend it as its so easy and you don&#039;t have to worry for 3years. Just watch your appetite. That&#039;s my only advice."
