Implanon
birth control
"I got the Implanon in August 2009, a week before my cycle was due. It's been nearly a year and I have not had any periods and I can't complain one bit. My cycle before any type of birth control was very irregular, like every two weeks and I had been on the pill for 8 years so I wanted a change. I wanted something long-term that was more convenient than having to take a pill. I've always been hormonal during that time of the month so the side effects with Implanon with that are about the same. The side effects are scary but everyone's body is different and responds to the hormones differently. Mine is well suited to the Implanon and I currently enjoy it and would do it again in the future after this one is removed."
