Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had implanon for a little over a year. It&#039;s been pure hell. I have gained 60 pounds, and NOTHING I do helps me lose weight. My depression is extremely bad from the hormones. (I had depression before, but it&#039;s 10x worse). For the first FOUR MONTHS I was bleeding, with a 2-3 day of not bleeding. My periods are now, about 9 days long. I have irregular periods, so it goes from period with 3 weeks off, to period with one week off. It&#039;s just all over the place, with extremely painful cramps. I&#039;m getting it removed tomorrow, thank God. I&#039;m terrified of hormonal birth control now, this being my first one that releases hormones. While I have had a horrible experience, I hope that others do not. It might work for you, it might not."
