"i got implanon in may last year. it&#039;s march now. since then i&#039;ve had periods every 7 to 14 days. it&#039;s weird. i do not like implanon and am getting it taken out finally. i also have acne, mood swings, and bloating all the time because i&#039;m constantly on my period. my sex drive has also gone way down most likely because i have chronic headaches all the time. however, that may be for a different reason, but it is one of the side effects. the nice thing about it is you don&#039;t have to worry about getting pregnant or taking pills everyday, but i can&#039;t tolerate something that affects my body so much. some people like it however. unfortunately it hasn&#039;t worked for me so i am getting an iud which doesn&#039;t have any hormones."
