Birth Control
"I got Implanon in October 2011 while on my period. At the end of that cycle I did not get my period again until October 2012. It was the best year ever! No mood swings, not worrying about a pill, my weight stayed the same, and my sex drive increased. I&#039;m also a huge whimp about needles but insertion didn&#039;t hurt. However, from Oct 2012- present (Jan 2013) I&#039;ve gotten my period erratically from every other week to every 2 weeks. I&#039;m going on vacation soon and the unpredictability of the medicine is starting to seriously irritate me (and put a damper on my daily routine). I hate to give it up because the first year spoiled me so much! But I&#039;m afraid the aggravation of the unknown may have me removing it in the very near future.."
