"the 2nd / 3rd week was hell, i felt nausea, aches, cramps, and going to classes was a chore. for the next 2 1/2 months i didn&#039;t have a menstrual cycle which was worrisome because i didn&#039;t know if i had gotten pregnant of not. but then it started for three days so my fears lessened, another month without a cycle and it came around the same time as it had before. no real change in my period besides it lasts a week to a week and a half now, and then stops, it&#039;s much more irregular than when i was on the pill but i don&#039;t have it as frequently so i don&#039;t worry so much about pads or tampons every month. i&#039;m reaching the 9 month mark and now i have an itchy bump form in the area where the implant is for two mornings but they go away after 30m-1hr."
