A member asked:

I got an implanon implant less than a week ago and i've gained 5 pounds. how can i change this and lose the weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet and excercise: You'll probably have to increase your exercise and change your diet at the very least. There are a small number of women who have to have the implanon removed due to excessive weight gain. Consider checking a pregnancy test too especially if you had unprotected sex within the last 2-4 weeks.
