birth control
"I had my Implanon put in October of 2010 when I was 20. The first 6 months to a year were rough. I never felt like hanging out with my friends, never felt like going to my classes, I gained about 20 lbs, I started getting bad breakouts on my face and back, I had no sex drive AT ALL and always felt tired. It has been almost two years and my breakouts cleared up a lot but I still haven't lost the weight and I still have zero sex drive. My parents, brother, and boyfriend have recently talked to me about getting it out because I'm just not myself like I used to be. I am having it taken out as soon as possible. The reason I kept it for so long is because it's so much easier than taking a pill everyday and I haven't had to pay for birth control."
