Birth Control
"I&#039;m 22 and I had Implanon inserted August 2007. It&#039;s been almost 2 years and I&#039;m going to have it removed next week . I LOVED not having to think about taking pills but the irregular bleeding has been a huge pain. I was so bad with birth control pills that this was a great option for me though. I bled for 2 months straight during first year. This year it has slowed down. I won&#039;t put this back in due to the bleeding and I would like to stop taking hormonal birth control all together. I am wondering if I gained weight from it or if it was just me gaining weight. Not sure about the mood swings either maybe I was just emotional. If you just got it, give it time. The cons are worth it."
