birth control
"I got the implant in January 2015, & removed late January 2016.. 

Before getting the implant, I was very much into fitness. I had energy and was always active. When I got the implant, my trainer noticed my lack of energy. Fast forward about 3 months.. I was so exhausted & fatigued I didn't want to do anything but sleep. I was at a plateau with my weight loss & started getting depressed.. THEN I found out I needed surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. Throughout the year I gained nearly 50 lbs, was fatigued, and the last 6 months had horrible, HEAVY, periods.. I already feel better since having it removed."
