I have had implanon in for about two and a half months and have put on 4kg (unusual for me given that I have been the same weight for over 10 years).

I am having the implanon removed because of the weight and the constant bleeding and I was wondering if anyone has succesfully lost the weight they gained due to implanon?

The implanon didn't cause me to gain weight, but I hah gained weight because of the pill. I really shouldn't worry though. I lost the weight very quickly. Are you having any other problems with the implanon. I had to have mine taken out!

My problems were the same and worse!!! It should calm down, but if not and its really causing you a problem maybe you should think about another kind of contraception!

I havent had implanon, but when I came off the pill, I lost about a stone really quickly without even dieting. If its not supposed to be on you, you should lose it reasonably easily.
