"my experience with the implant is actually not that bad. i&#039;ve had it since march of 2011, a little over a year now. at first i had my period for about 3 or 4 days and than it stopped for almost 7 months, than i got it for about a week, and than started getting it about every other month or so. but recently i had my period for about 4 days, it stopped for a couple days, and now i&#039;m spotting. but, other than that i have had no problems at all. i love my birth control. much better than pills, shots, or patches in my opinion."
