birth control
"I had my implanon place Feb 2011.  The procedure to place it was quick and painless.  Prior to Implanon I had been on the Depo Shot.  The insertion was less painful than the shot.  I just had the implant removed 10/2013.  I noticed sever mood swings right off the bat and went straight back to my doctor to have it removed.  We discussed options and I decided to take a mood stabilizer for the times when I felt extra B*tchy!   I spotted for a few days then had then had a period once every 3 months. For the next 3 years.  I did gain about 60 pounds over 2.5 years.  Some of it was my eating and exercise habits and some of it I believe was implanon.  All and all it was a good experience, I just will not do it again."
