Etonogestrel
birth control
"I have had the implant since April 2010, now October 2011 and at first, it was great! Experienced an 11 day period (usually never lasted more than 5 days) and that was about it. The insertion was about 2 minutes and the only pain I experienced was the numbing which lasted a couple of seconds. I didn't have my period for about 6 months which was cool, never got pregnant or had any side effects. My concern really is that now, or recently I've been having my period non stop. I'm currently on my period, for the 8th time in 2 months. They've been heavy periods and the cramping sucks. I've been breaking out really bad and experiencing very bad mood swings. I become very sensitive and impatient. It's a great birth control but I'm at a loss for words lately."
