birth control
"I chose Implanon because it lasts for 3 years, and I am terrible at remembering to take pills. I had it inserted July 2011, it has been 4 months. The procedure itself was easy, I was impressed with how little discomfort I felt. The area was slightly tender for a few days, but honestly once it was inserted. I can feel it in my arm, but you can't see it at all. I have not had a period since, and have had minor cramping, but this is normal for my body, was the same when I was on the pill. I have gained weight, 10 pounds. This could be a mix of things (traveling a lot), not just Implanon, and I am now working out like a mad woman and eating clean. Hopefully it comes off! I give Implanon 9 out of 10."
