I'm 22, I got implanon in 2011 it expired last year in October of 2014 here it is 2015 and the implanon is still inserted in my arm I have been having unprotected sex with my partner and still no pregnancy so there are pros and cons to implanon it's very effective in keeping you from getting pregnant as long as it's in your arm even when it's expired however it causes tremendous amount of weight gain for me I started wearing a size 11/12 now I weigh 18/20 depending on material it's very depressing not being confident and feeling good about yourself and the constant "you've gained weight" comments from family members, it also cause headaches, depression, low sex drive, and mood swings for me one minute k like being around people the next I don't when people are use to me being a goofy down to earth person I'm getting it removed next month despite how good it works toward preventing pregnancy to gain my life back lose weight and be a fun person I'll just have to use other pregnancy precaution so if you don't mind gaining wait implanon is for you because it really does prevent pregnancy

I'm only 15 and I've gained a lot of weight , I used to be really happy about my weight and wasn't embarrassed about it at all , until I got this ! It's disgusting ! I went to get it put In and the woman said , in her exact words "this implant does not cause weight gain" that is a load of BS ! I'm really debating to get it out , in not happy with my result at all ! Also I've had it about 3 and a half months and I'm still on my period , it's got worse the period pains and the heaviness ! I advise everyone to avoid this option and stick to the pills ! Before I was on the impant I was on the pill , it didn't cause me any weight again and the only side effects I got was very bad migraines and mood swings , I would go back to the pill anyway ! The impant it disgusting !

Hello, I have had the implanon for a year now. I got it 2 months after my son was born. Before I got pregnant with him, I was 112, while pregnant I only gained 17lbs. I was on the sh*t for 2 months, then got the implanon inserted and I lost so much weight. I never noticed it, but everyone else did. I though they were crazy, until my brother took a picture of me, full body, and then I noticed it. I hate that I lost so much weight. I went from 112lbs to 90lbs.!!! I've tried everything to gain my weight back and it seems not to be working. I'm planning on getting it taken out, soon, and hopefully I can gain my normal weight back. I'm a very petite person, I've never been over 115, so hopefully I won't gain any more than that. I just want to be my normal weight again.

This is the exact same thing that happened to me, September was my 3 years and I am still trying to get it out. My period stayed on 3 months, went off 3 days and came right back on and it's been that way the entire 3 years. I have gained so much weight and when I lost weight I had to do an all liquid diet for two weeks and gained the weight back within 3 months. The mood swings, depression, skin pigment, horrible! I will never get this contraception again.
