    There is no birth control that guarantees no weight gain. It's the hormones which they produce and your body reacting to them.

    I have implanon not a problem for me I've put on about 3lbs but that could just be the fact i'm not eating as well as I used to but it's not much at all. Two of my friends also got it one didn't change at all and the other actually lost a stone.

    Different people actually react different. Ask your doctor for the progestrogen only pill for a bit if you get on with them for about 6 months then ask about the implant or another type of contraception.

    Best to speak to your doctor before making any decisions.
