"i&#039;ve had the implant since april of 2013 and it&#039;s  been terrible. i&#039;ve had 3   week long periods with maybe a 4-5 day break. which had decreased my libido almost to nothing. i&#039;ve talked to my doctor numerous times about it and apparently it&#039;s &quot;normal&quot; side effects. upon choosing the implanon, i was told that my periods would most likely stop... what a bunch of lies. i can&#039;t wait to get this thing out of my body!"
