    Default Implanon

    Has anybody tried this birth control? It's a small metal rod that is placed under your skin for up to 3 years. I had my gyno put it in a few months ago, and I had horrible side effects: bad acne, irritability, and I was bleeding the whole time I was on it. Has anybody else had the same problems?

    Oh yeah, I forgot that side effect. I gained 7lbs in 2 or 3 weeks.

    LMMFAO!!! I was so miserable when I was on it. I know another girl who was on it, and I think she did okay. My friend joked that the way it kept me from getting pregnant was that I couldn't have sex since I was constantly bleeding

    God, I'm so sorry you had such a terrible reaction to it! I'm on my second one now and I've never had any problems. I think I might have been a little irritable the first month or two but that passed. And my period became light and then disappeared almost immediately. Are you sure the doctor inserted it properly?

    I'm glad y'all had good experiences with it! I really wish mine had worked out I'm back on Yaz which I haven't had any problems with, and will probably stick with it for a while, as I have experimented with nuvaring too, and didn't like it, lol

    When I was refilling my bc script, the nurse had one, she showed it to me. It made me shiver cuz I could feel it under her skin on her arm, and sort of see it. She said it "didn't hurt" but I don't believe her. But she said she loved it. I finally found a pill that works, so I'm set!
