Hi, I have been taking the mini pill for almost 2 years but am quite unreliable with the pill. I have spoken to the doctor about contraception and have decided to go with the implanon, however, she said it can cause you to gain weight? I have recently lost 30kgs (and that was hardwork!) and am 5kgs away from my goal so I am really keen to not put on weight. I'm not overly fit but I am active and exercise nearly every day. My diet is fairly good. So my question is have any other fairly active mums put on weight whilst on implanon? Surely if I am not sitting on my bum all day and eating crap I won't gain weight? Advice would be great please. As I have a genetic blood disorder I can't use any of the combined hormone contraceptives.
