"i got implanon in july of 2009. a week later, i started my period which was far heavier than i normally get. i bled for the next month, but after that? nothing! that is a blessing seeing as i have endometriosis and my periods were /extremely/ painful. i have a bit more acne than before and i think i&#039;ve gained a little weight, but all-in-all... i&#039;m thankful. i&#039;m pretty happy with it."
