Birth Control
"I got the Implanon in August 2009, a week before my cycle was due. It&#039;s been nearly a year and I have not had any periods and I can&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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."
