"i got my implant in late june of 2015 because i was told by a colleague that her periods completely stopped immediately after she got the implant. i was sexually active at the time, and the thought of not having periods intrigued me.

 i had my period the week before i got my implant. my period skipped a month after the implant. then the second month, i was bleeding heavily and then it became spotty over the course of two months. then my period stopped completely for 10 months until late aug of 2016. now i&#039;ve been bleeding off and on for almost a month and i hope it stops soon. i haven&#039;t had acne or mood swings while on the bc. i did have weight gain (30 pounds)."
