Etonogestrel
"First had the implant when I was 24, it was great, lost weight, periods lighter and less painful, bit of acne but I've always had that. 2nd one was rubbish. But my 3rd and current one I had fitted when I was 29 (I'm 31 now) its just been awful. Firstly I've piled weight on like mad, I don't have the healthiest eating habits but I don't have the worst either. I've put on nearly 2 stone!! Considering I do regular sport and exercise!! Then there is the mood swings and the anger, I'm just horrible!! Irregular bleeding and spotting, cramps all the time, lower back ache, greasy skin and hair, anxiety (which I already had but this has made it worse). Seems like if your lucky your ok on the first one, then it seems to go down hill after that. AVOID!!!!!"
