female only Using Implanon as Birth Control

[tmbowe 1]

I have been on Birth Control for about 14 years. After my band I found it was harder to take cause some days I just couldn't get anything down. On Friday I had the Implanon put in which is an implant in your arm..Since I have had this put in I have not been able to eat anything at all. I was just wondering if anyone else is using the implanon and if they have ran into similar problems..Am also worried about gaining any weight would love to hear from other users..Thans

I have the Implanon as well, and I never had a problem with not being able to eat after having it put in. I wonder if maybe your body just went into a bit of shock from the pain it is coping with even though you are numbed up. The only thing I did feel like is I had a slight increase in appetite, but I have had that with every BC I have used. I love my Implanon though!

I had Implanon as well.. I got it installed right after my last baby was born.. I gained when I was supposed to be losing baby weight I was gaining not to mention that I bled for 4 months.. After six I was done.. I ended up going and get a Paraguard (copper IUD). My cycle is heavier but it's not longer and I don't bleed inbetween.. I love it. I also like knowing that Paraguard has no hormones.

Though not everything works for everyone. I hope the Implanon works for you..
