"i&#039;m 25 yrs old, i got my implanon inserted 02/08/2008, it been 19 months. when i first got it, there was a lot of bleeding, i didn&#039;t like it. my periods were like clock work before insertion, but when i got the implanon it was out of whack. but i guess my body had to get used to this new foreign body inside of me. it&#039;s different for everyone. i&#039;m not having the problem with weight gain, or hair loss, but i do get headaches and my breast are sore sometimes. i like it because i&#039;m not worried about contraception. but like i say it different for everyone, my periods are normal now. i&#039;m dealing with the side effects, better than another kid."
