"i have had the implanon rod in my arm for two years. it made me have a period for 19 days and off for about 4 to 5. my hair was falling out, horrible cramps and bad headaches. i have switched over to the lutera pill and instantly it has made a difference. i did have a little bit of tenderness in my breasts. yes, i crave sweets. but who doesn&#039;t? my periods come the same day every month and are light and easy. i love this product. for the past six months it has been good to me."
