So...It's been over a year with good ol' Implanon.
Can't say it's been bad. I still have what I like to refer to as "pms" without the "p". Mostly I just forget I got the jigger in me!!
I still haven't had any periods. Thank ya Jebus!! That's been nice. No spotting. It's like I'm menopausal or something...without the hot flashes, fortunately.
I get occasional mood swings. I haven't tracked it but I'm sure it probably aligns with when I would have had a period.
The place where the Implanon is hurts occasionally. Like, when I lay on it wrong or the skin there gets super cold. Sometimes when I lean my arm across something right on the spot it hurts some. Just an occasional bother, nothing huge.
I haven't had any weight gain that I can measure. I stopped working out. Remember when I first got it? I was working out, now, nope. So I guess I can say I haven't gained any MORE weight.
The only drawback I have is loss of sexual desire. It's still there, just not as strong. It's probably bothersome to my husband but eh, I have a kid....who needs sex!! Ha!! Just kidding but really....?
I would totally get the Implanon again. It's got my thumbs up!!
