Thank you for posting this as I was going to come and in ask about implanon. My DP and I were discussing it last night and we realised that since I've had it in I've gained about 10kg and have had trouble with my emotions. Nice to know I'm not alone. I plan on getting my out as soon as we get DP in for the snip.
Hi Pooley, I am in the same boat as you - awaiting AF since having implanon removed (waiting 7 weeks tomorrow) have had pregnancy test(s) and BFN results... I would just like some kind of indication that the 'normal' has returned.
Other posters, I loved my implanon, I did gain weight (10-15kgs over 6 years) which I am now struggling to budge (well have been struggling for about the last 4 or so years to budge it) but now that it is out I am not so in love with it because I don't know where I am in my cycle as I was never regular on implanon - as I say - it didn't bother me then but it does now.
I had the implanon a few years back, but had it removed after a year. I was one of the unlucky ones who had continuous bleeding. It wasn't for the full 12 months non-stop, more like on for 3 months, off for one kind of thing. The bleeding was very, very light though - kind of like on the last day(s) of your period. Apart from that, I loved it. No pill to worry about, and I had a health care card at the time so it cost me next to nothing for what could have been 3 years of contraception! The constant bleeding did become very annoying though.
I didn't have any problems with weight gain - in fact, I was trying to lose weight for my wedding at the time and I managed that fine.
I hope all this info is helpful to you. I think it's just one of those things you have to try and see if it suits you. Some women are really lucky and don't have their period at all.
