I am a man (this site needs to get with the times and stop calling uterus and vagina care "womens health") on testosterone so im not sure if the acne and weight changes are due to the testosterone or the implant. same with periods - the implant stopped my periods but im sure T helped. I get cramps somewhat randomly, especially around the time I'm meant to remove and replace the implant (5 years). I like that it keeps me from getting pregnant and does not contain estrogen since again I am a man.

I decided to give the implant a try after having my 3rd child. Almost immediately after I got it I noticed my body changing. My mood swings were so unpredictable! One minute I was normal then the next I'm screaming and reading over something so miniscule. I hoped it would stabilize or get better over time, but it hasn't. My periods are extremely long and seem to overlap. They're not always heavy though, so that's a good thing, but I can "spot" or bleed lightly for WEEKS! I've went to my OB about this and explained to her my concerns. She heard my concerns and advised I take birth control pills to help stabilize my hormones and help stop the bleeding. My implants expiration date is QuickTime approaching in March and I couldn't be more excited! I may even have it removed early. It's giving me soooo many problems since I got it put in my arm. I'll never have the implant again.
