"i have had my implanon for 3 years and need to get it removed in a few days. i love it. i had no periods for about 1 1/2 years, then one every 4 months for a year.

the downside is now it&#039;s closer to one week long period with a week long break in between. it&#039;s been really frequent for the last month or so. 
i am about 175 lbs though, and i don&#039;t know if the tapering off would be so obvious in someone with less body mass or even more muscle mass. i am thinking about getting a new one in anyway, or perhaps taking a shot or two of depo before getting a new implanon inserted."
