birth control
"I got the Implanon at the recommendation of a close friend. Her period completely stopped on it and she was thrilled with it. I began having daily bleeding immediately after it was inserted but waited it out.  Now after 8 months, I still have "bleeding" mostly lining, etc. and it is a pain, I have to wear a tampon nearly everyday. I have gained weight (5 lbs) but its hard to tell if that's just due to aging, I'm almost 33 or not. I have dieted the past 3 weeks and the weight is so hard to lose, again can't say whether or not that's directly due to the medication. Tomorrow I'm having it removed. Back to the pill unfortunately. I would say give it a try, you may be one of the lucky ones, if not, you can remove it."
