"i have not had any issues with the implanon i got it in july 2013. i&#039;m on my last year and i love it. when i first got it in, my period didn&#039;t come for 7 months only last the usual 7 days and then it was gone, then my it came again 3 months later only lasted about 7 days. and now its hasn&#039;t came for a year but decided to pop up just last week but i&#039;m okay with it. i don&#039;t think i have any other side effects maybe some weight gain but i&#039;m tall and have always been petite so i like the weight gain. the only side effect i don&#039;t like is the hair growing everywhere it shouldn&#039;t. but thats not going to make me try anything else. i already tried the shot and pills. i couldn&#039;t remember to take the pill everyday and the shot had me on my period for like 2 months."
