"i had this implanted so that i never had to think about taking a birth control at a certain time and everything like that, so in that respect it is great. however my periods have become virtually untrackable. at first i had no period for like three months and then all of the sudden i had light ones for a couple of days, within a week of each other. this happens all the time, either i have a period or i don&#039;t; either its super heavy, and i feel awful between bloating, headaches, body aches for a couple of days; or i have a very light and spotty period for a week and a half where its impossible for plan for. i have had no consistency with periods which is very tiring, annoying and frustrating. i also sometimes get a pain around the area."
