Does anyone here use it? I'm looking at switching to a log term birth control and I can't get an iud. My doc suggested implanon, but I've read some not so pleasant things about it. Any input or person experience with it would be appreciated, especially if it concerns mood swings and weight gain. Thank you! 

Is that the birth control implant? 

I have it and love it. I have been on it for almost a year now. I haven't had any weight gain or anything like that. I have had some crazy dreams since I have been on it. My arm hurt for awhile after getting it. 

I only know one person with it, but it wasnt a good experience at all. The Dr implanted wrong and it fused to her bone. She had to get it surgically removed and now has nerve damage in that arm. On the plus side, that's the only bad thing I have heard. lol

Yikes!! Fortunately, that sounds like one of those incredibly rare side effects.
