ziggyman Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hey, My girlfriend has recently come off implenon implant contraceptive. We took it out because over 7 months it caused her to gain about 2.5 stone, and has made stretch marks over many areas. It was removed about 3 weeks ago now, and we were hoping to see some improvement by now but she hasn't lost any wieght. For the past 2 weeks we have been doing regular exercise (runs, skipping, ice skating) but she is the same. She works as a waitress so is on her feet for almost 40hrs a week, we have reduced our ingoing calories by eating less and im very carefully about what we buy, no crisps, hardly any chocolate, eating more fish, chicken, salads, low fat cheese. I'm not sure what else to do, and it makes her upset cause nothings changing, and so makes me upset, but I try and keep positive and encourage more exercise, better food and do it all with her. I'm a thin guy, and i've lost a bit of weight i think over the past few weeks, so not sure what to do for her. Any suggestions what to do? Link to post Share on other sites
curiousnycgirl Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I agree - it will take time for the hormones to leave her body. Keep doing what you are doing, and it will eventually pay off. Link to post Share on other sites
