Question for women who had the arm implant birth control, I just recently got mine removed (Tuesday) & was wondering…

@blessedmom, for me it made me gain a ton of weight. When I had my son I weighted 190 & as soon as I had him I dropped 20 pounds plus a month of breastfeeding I lost a little more but as soon as I got that birth control in I gained every bit of it back plus more. I'm now 220 & I was eating healthy & working out. I don't recommend it but like I said you gotta try it out for yourself to see how your body will react to it.

@blessedmom, I have it and it works fine, but because of the hormones and me having endometriosis I have to get it out, it lasts for 3yrs, but you have to keep it at least 3-6 mths to really know if it's right this is my second one the last one I had for the full 3 until my surgery now this one for 9 mths

@blessedmom, I only had it 8 months & at first I liked it had no complaints honestly until I started gaining weight like crazy. No matter what I did/ate I would pack on the pounds plus I didn't have a period the whole time I had it & it made me have horrible mood swings as if I was still pregnant. I mean you won't know if it's for you until you get it & see how your body reacts to it. With me it just wasn't working & I don't think I'll be getting a different type of birth control.
