"i have had implanon for almost 3 years now. it is almost time to either take it out or get a new one. i have loved it. i did start out with a little weight gain and some spotting that wasnt quite light but not a period either. it was mostly just annoying but after about 2 months it stopped. havent had a period since and i love being able to say that when i go to the doctor. living worry free from pregnancy and periods has been great and i am definitely thinking about committing to another 3 years. i recommend to any women that has problems taking the pill or the patch, i didnt like either i am sometimes forgetful and my schedule changes so it was hard to take the pill at the same time everyday."
