No major negative side effects (yet) the most annoying being the acne increase. The spotting doesn’t bother me, but having a period every 2-3 weeks is bothersome.

I went from 100lbs to 140lbs in just 6 months after getting the implant, which personally was a positive. I am much calmer and little to no mood swings. My period stopped, just occasional brown spotting and light cramps. My skin and hair got a bit more dry, and my nails & hair don’t grow as fast.
