"i have had the implanon for a year now and really like it.  i only had one period about a week after insertion and haven&#039;t had one since.  when i was on the pill i had mood swings so i switched to the implanon. i haven&#039;t had any problems with mood swings since.  also, not having to remember to take a pill everyday is a big advantage.  the only bad thing is i had a slight increase in acne, it is subsiding now.  this was only a minor annoyance to me in comparison to the good aspects.  overall, i am very pleased with the implanon and glad i switched from the pill."
