"i got the implant in january of 2014 after my daughter was born. it was easily inserted, painless and only left a tiny dot of a scar. i did get a period the first month which last 18 days. i was very worried that it would continue like that and considered getting it removed, but after the period ended i went over a year before i had another one, which lasted only 2 days. now a year and a half later i am starting to get short periods (2 days) every two months. i think the implant is wonderful. i like not having to worry about taking a pill or having condoms on hand every time my husband and i wanted to get intimate. the only real negative thing about it has been the weight gain; about 15 pounds that just won&#039;t come off! :-)"
