"when i first started using contraception, i was put on the pill and it really messed with my emotions, plus i&#039;d end up forgetting to take it every day, so i tried implanon. during the first year of insertion, it did cause my periods to become heavier, longer and less predictable. however, after a few months, they lessened to the point where i no longer had a period anymore (huge bonus). anyway, i&#039;d highly recommend implanon as a form of contraception and will continue to use it myself. hope this helps!"
