birth control
"I have had Implanon since early May 2010 so about 7 months now.  I think that Implanon was definitely the right choice for me but it's different with everyone and anyone reading these comments should keep that in mind.  I was previously on the Depo shot for 2 years and have the same side effects on Implanon that I did with the shot.  I haven't gotten my period since it's been in, not even a little bleeding.  I have gained about 5-10 pounds but I am not a very active person.  I love not having to worry about getting pregnant or using a condom.  The only problem I have had is the extreme bruising and pain when I got it put in and it took a little over a week to heal all the way but I have a very minimal scar now."
