I've had it for a year now, and actually lost 5kgs in that year...

I did have some breakthrough bleeding, but no actual "period" as such. I think it's just great. I don't miss the mood swings, regular bleeding, acne, etc that I used to have!

I'm keeping it in now that I'm separated, not because of sex (not that I'm getting any) but because it's convenient.

My sister had to have hers removed because of the breakthrough bleeding, as did another friend. One friend put on about 5kgs, but has had the implant out and now lost the weight (no real struggle either). Another friend had it out to get pg, and got pg first cycle.

Best wishes.
