birth control
"I have had my Implanon for 2 years now. I got it at my 6 week postpartum check up. I didn't get my first period until over a year into having it (my baby was 17 months old when I got my first period). The cramps have been awful, periods are super unpredictable- for example I had a 4 week period, then nothing for 5 weeks, then 4 day period, nothing for 2 weeks, then 6 day period. I have had a terrible time losing weight, I haven't gone back down to my pre-pregnancy weight despite eating healthy and working out. I have headaches on it, mood swings, low energy but other than that it's great. It has done it's job- in that I haven't gotten pregnant while on it so I give it an 8."
