"i&#039;ve been on the implanon for a little over a year now and i&#039;m ready to have it removed! the constant mood swings, terrible acne and constant non stop heavy periods are just too much. my periods last anywhere from 12-15 days! i was told that it would evenually regulate and it hasn&#039;t. yes it&#039;s effective because you bleed so much that you&#039;re unable to have sex!!!! i have not had any pregnancy scares but who wants to go through all the extra nonesense? i don&#039;t! i&#039;m having it removed soon!"
