"i had implanon inserted in march of 2008 after my friend had it inserted and said it was fine.  the only problem i have had was irregular periods there were very irregular.  sometimes they were short and i called it spotting, but then i would spot for about 1-2 weeks.  but then it would go away for a month and come back.  i think alot of it was stress.  since july of this year i sort of started new with my life.  i have had two periods since july (it is november), and they were both short and more of a heavy spotting.  but its been alot better.  overall i am happy with it, and in 2011 i will get a new one inserted, unless they come out with something better!"
