Etonogestrel
"I've had the Implanon for just over a year now, and it's been very effective in preventing pregnancy. I originally went on it because I kept forgetting to take the pill and was always paranoid. I get spotting often and light but frequent periods, which is annoying. Also, my skin isn't good these days and I believe that it's due to the Implanon. I did not gain weight, actually lost 5kgs, however I've been eating well and exercising. I can't imagine weight gain occurring if a person is active and eating well. No change in moods - I was already irritable prior. Think I'm going to have this taken out to balance my hormones."
