Birth Control
"I had my implanon put in on November 24, 2014. My reasons for getting it were birth control, and to regulate my horrendous periods (heavy bleeding for up to four months continuous). After it was put in, I found that in the first week I lost a great deal of hair, perhaps two fist fulls, this was a potential side effect so it didn&#039;t really bother me as it was only triggered by the initial release of drugs into my body. I had no period for 6 weeks and I was ecstatic! It lasted only three days, with light flow followed by a day of spotting. My third period lasted three weeks but was still light and spotting. June6 I got my period again and I still have it today (Sept15) I&#039;m looking for an alternative now. ITs an effective contraception though."
