"i read a lot of reviews before getting implanon. having it put in was a breeze! for about the first year it was greatest birth control ever. then i had my period. with it came extreme mood swings, low libido, pain in my arm where it was inserted and my period lasted about 2 months. for the second year i would have a period 3 out of 4 weeks a month and continued with other side effects. i am scheduled to have it taken out monday. i am a little nervous about removal but we will see how it goes. overall i am glad i tried it but ready to try something new."
