What are the disadvantages of Implants?


  • Do NOT start this method of birth control unless you will find it acceptable to have your period change. They WILL change a lot.
  • Implanon usually leads to irregular periods. If your bleeding pattern is bothersome to you, you can take medications which may give you a more acceptable pattern of bleeding.
  • Implanon does not protect you from HIV or other infections. Use condoms if you are at risk.
  • Some women gain weight while on Implanon.
