OK.....I am going to be a little harsh here.....are you nuts? If you are even, in the least bit, thinking of "bedding" the guy that you have only known a month and have serious doubts about, you need therapy....NOT birth control! |

Implanon caused MAJOR weight gain and is a pain to remove. Currently on IUD and my skin has started breaking out like a teenager and have started gaining weight again. (Been on it for about 10 months)
I'm going back to the pill. Its the only thing I didnt gain weight on.
I'm pretty against the implanon after I had it. Now have a gnarly scar on my arm from removal too. |

| I personally go old fashion oral (pills) method. I do 3 months in a row, so I have 4 periods a year. Less side effects IMO and I've never had any scary close calls or anything.. LOL but then, I'm pretty much been single since I was 21.
eta: the reason I use BC is because I'm irregular. The pills have always worked for me, so I never needed to look into other methods and I've heard scary things about the implant and rings.

I don't think she mentioned anything of that sort in her original post....no need to jump to that conclusion, especially saying she needs therapy...little rude there. |

I liked the 3 month rotation, too. Simple.

Location: Oklahoma | I am on the 2nd round of the implanon. The 1st 3 years it was great. This last time SUCKS. My period comes every other month and will last for a month. I'm in the process of getting it removed. I've had mood swings and no sex drive. I will never get it again |

I'm on month 2 of it and really like it so far. Wasn't a fan the first two weeks, but it seems like I've adjusted to it. Love the simplicty of it. |

Location: Up and over to the right | Been on the depo shot for 4 years and getting off it this summer. Not much gain for me (5# maybe), no period at all too. I just don't like this acne/bloating/excessive bleeding during you-know-what and a few other things. Going to try a pill for a while to see. The shot was just easier to have every 3 months than daily! |

| The fact is that your doctor is not going to think your crazy if you make an appt. for bad cramping and ask them for the options. The thing about asking your doctor is that they KNOW you! They know your hormone levels, you can tell them your lifestyle, and they can help you make a decision.
If you don't want to pay for a doctor visit, go to Planned Parenthood and see if you qualify for free services. (I'll probably get yelled at for that advice.) Asking here is just going to get a bunch of people saying what they have and why they like it. It tells you NOTHING about how it's going to affect your body, hormones, etc.
Not to mention if you google birth control, it'll tell you all you need to know. |
