"i highly recommend trying implanon. i&#039;m really shocked to read all of the bad side effects. if i would have read these reviews before getting implanon, i would not have chosen this birth control method. i&#039;m so glad i did though! i have had no negative side effects with implanon. i&#039;ve had it since feb &#039;09 and i love it. i still get a period but it&#039;s random and the bleeding varies. at first my period got lighter but recently it got heavier and lasted for about 5-7 days. i&#039;m not good at keeping track of my periods though. i must add that this is a very convenient (for us forgetful women) and a very effective form of birth control. i have a lot of sex with my boyfriend and we use no other form of protection and i have never gotten pregnant."
