Birth Control
"I have had Implanon for a little over a year now and it has both benefits and drawbacks. It hurt really badly having it put in and took several weeks to heal. I can still see it through my skin and there is a scar at the entrance. For the first 9 months I did not get my period and then all of a sudden I have light periods every 3-4 weeks and it&#039;s not on a repetitive schedule. It&#039;s great not having to think about taking a pill everyday but the surprise periods aren&#039;t fun. I haven&#039;t had any mood swings or weight gain but I have had skin reactions. My face and back break out with acne since starting the medicine and the insertion site is still itchy. "
