Birth Control
"I got the Implanon at the recommendation of a close friend. Her period completely stopped on it and she was thrilled with it. I began having daily bleeding immediately after it was inserted but waited it out.  Now after 8 months, I still have &quot;bleeding&quot; mostly lining, etc. and it is a pain, I have to wear a tampon nearly everyday. I have gained weight (5 lbs) but its hard to tell if that&#039;s just due to aging, I&#039;m almost 33 or not. I have dieted the past 3 weeks and the weight is so hard to lose, again can&#039;t say whether or not that&#039;s directly due to the medication. Tomorrow I&#039;m having it removed. Back to the pill unfortunately. I would say give it a try, you may be one of the lucky ones, if not, you can remove it."
