What is it difficult to lose weight on implanon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Appetite: Implanon is a progesterone only form of birth control. Progesterone is an appetite stimulant, so with Implanon it is common to be more hungry. If you are hungrier you tend to eat more, if you eat more you tend to gain weight.
