Birth Control
"I have had my Implanon in since February 2011, so 14 months. It has been really great. At first I was gaining weight, but that was because of unhealthy habits. Now that I am up and moving more, drinking less soda and more water, I am losing faster than ever. I get a &quot;period&quot; every 3-4 months or so, and even then it is just 3 days of slight spotting. The only negatives I can think of are slightly decreased sex drive (which you can work through) and sometimes feeling a bit depressed (which usually lasts less than a day). If you are thinking about getting Implanon and are turned off by the possible side effects, just try it. It can be taken out any time. And remember, there is no &quot;natural&quot; birth control, everything has side effects."
