Contraceptive Implant

Hi All,

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15 (I'm now 23) and have been on and off the combined pill to help with the symptoms. I suffer from weight gain, excess hair and absent periods. I would to like to try the implant as contraception as I sometimes forget to take the pill or take it late. Has anyone tried the implant to mange symptoms of PCOS? I heard that for some it can make you gain weight has anyone experienced this?

The implant is not good from a pcos point of view and I have heard people say their symptoms have got even worse. I would consider the hormonal coil as this is similar to the combined pill so should keep your pcos symptoms more in check.

My friend tried it and she has no period at all.
