Etonogestrel
birth control
"I've had my implant for around 2 years now and to be honest when I first had it put in it was brilliant. I had no periods whatsoever for over a year, no side effects at all and no spotting.



The last year though has been absolute hell. I've put on over two stone, had long spells of bleeding, acne, mood swings, no sex drive whatsoever, unsightly stretch marks as I seemed to gain weight so fast and strange hormonal eczema break outs (which I've never suffered with before). The negatives are clearly outweighing the positives now and I've had enough.



I'm literally counting down the days until I have it removed next week. Never again."
