"I have been on Implanon since November 4, 2011. As far as birth control, I had only tried the pill which I would forget to take by the 4th day.

"I cannot stand the taste, just took the first prep and threw up a little bit of it. To me it tastes like someone took a bunch of menthol cough drops and liquified them.
