    Do you mean losing weight while using a birth control implant?

    You may have to be more specific if you want answers..."implant" can mean 1000 different things.

    Dental implants? My husband lost 10 lbs. after getting them. Once he healed, now all he does is eat and is actually gain weight.

    all organ and tissue transplants are technically implants (kidney, liver, pancreas, skin, bone marrow, etc.)

    cosmetic implants (breast, muscle, buttock, calf, chin, etc.)

    dental implants

    surgical implants of all sorts--I personally have clips, plates and screws in my head as well as a bunch of metal in my abdomen

    Studies show that the implant has less impact on weight loss or gain, possibly because the hormones are stable over time and the metabolism adjusts easier than to oral contraceptives, which can vary due to timing or inactive ingredients. However, the implant is signifigantly less effective for women over 50 kg (110 pounds) - 3.5 pregnancies/100, while for women less than 50 kg it's 1/100.

    Im on nexplanon, and i do find it hard to lose weight, but i blame that on poor eating and exercise habits and the fact that im 27 and havent done a second of exercise until 3mos ago. So my metabolism is probably slower than a turtle. Haha!

    Well, I've had the implant for 3yrs and not pregnant yet! Haha! Plus I didn't gain weight on it. No mood swings as well. The only downside I can see is that I started getting a spotty back from the hormonal changes but if my bf is willing to put up with it, I am to. Hehe. Just working to lose all my excess weight now! I've been working out for 3 months and dropped just over 5lbs. It's easy to get discouraged but as my bf keeps on telling me, I'm losing inches and I feel myself getting fitter cardiovascularly!

    So just keep on it! Maybe you need to change your workout routine? Your body does get used to it and plateaus. You need to keep changing your routine every month or so.

    I'm on the nexplanon and have lost 10 lbs on it from 108 to 98. It might influence your appetite but I haven't had any issues. Plus I have no period, I love mine.

    Im assuming that's the probability of me getting pregnant. 3.5 chance out of a hundred.

    Do you mean while using the implant for contraception? not sure what being over 8 stone has to do with that? no contraceptive is 100% effective, surely your doctor told you that??

    I have mirena in for the last almost 2 months and I'm losing weight really well. I've lost 24 pounds since having it in and still losing an average of 1-2 pounds per week with clean eating and exercise

    Every friend I have who has gotten the BC implant or shot has had issues with weight gain. there's something about the progesterone that makes many women either eat more or burn less or both.

    Yes of course. I was just clarifying what the previous poster was stating.
