"i had my implanon inserted with no complications. there was little to no pain, and the insertion spot healed very well. soon after getting the implanon i began my period which lasted over four months. i contacted my ob and he said this was normal. my period finally stopped and i now have a period that lasts the entire month. i have a period for a month and the next month i will not have one. my doctor prescribed my estrogen pills to control my cycle, which worked for only a couple months. other than the periods i have been having severe headaches. the one positive thing i can say about this method of birth control is it works, unlike other methods i have tried."
