Birth Control
"I have had my Implanon for 2 1/2 months now and I&#039;ve had minimal side effects. I get slight acne on my forehead and my breasts grew a little. No weight gain, mood changes, or cramping during my period. However, my period itself is a bit of a problem. Since insertion, I&#039;ve been having my period every other week and it lasts about 6 or 7 days. I can hardly tell I&#039;m having them, but it interferes with my sex life (boyfriend is not a fan) and I go through a lot of tampons. I&#039;ve also noticed that I spot or fully start my period after sex sometimes. However, I haven&#039;t had the Implanon for very long, so I&#039;m going to give it more time for the hormones to balance out."
