"i had had implanon for a year and at first it was fine. some breakthrough bleeding but eventually got to regular periods. and when closing in on a year with the implant i had my period for a month. i can&#039;t describe the difference in the period either, it was excessive. 
this birth control does what it is supposed to but with side effects. i had a good 8 months on it but i am getting it out next week. no woman wants to be on their period like that and never knowing when to expect it or how long it will last."
