Birth Control
"I used Implanon for 6 year with 2 insertions. It was very effective and I loved not having to worry about birth control for such a long period of time. The only reason I had it removed was because I would have a heavy period for months at a time. I was on my period for more than half the time I had the Implanon. When I had it removed, I noticed my face clear up and I lost a small amount of weight. I have a friend who had Implanon and she had it removed due to complete lack of periods. She couldn&#039;t stand being irregular. So Implanon seems to have a big effect on periods."
