Birth Control
"My family has a negative history with birth control (mother, aunt, cousin and sister all tried and couldn&#039;t stay on it) however my periods were always extremely rough so at the advice of my doctor I got Implanon to help balance the hormones in May 2013. So far so very good. I have had one 8 day period since then followed two months later by a 4 day period. Both were extremely light and my symptoms were either dulled considerably or nonexistent. It was incredible!  Sex drive did not change at all and I had no problems losing weight on it. I&#039;ve gone from a size 10 to a size 6 with healthy eating and exercise. At times I feel some water retention but that typically happens around the time I would have started my period."
