I've had the implant for about two years now and I am having it taken out in two weeks. It worked great for me for the two years I've had it but three months ago I started gaining weight and have gained almost thirty pounds in that time. My period has been coming every two weeks, with spotting in between periods. I am aware that this is caused by the excess amount of estrogen from the progesterone. I need to make a decision about what method I want to use next, but I'm terrified that I'll continue to gain weight. I've looked into the pill that allows you to get your period once every three months. Anyone have that pill or can recommend a pill that's worked great for them? I am not interested in paragard either.
