"i got my implanon about 6 weeks after my son was born. i love everything about it except the bleeding. it took two weeks after i got it implanted for me to start my period and here i am three weeks later and i&#039;m still on it. it&#039;s light but its been light for about a week. other than the bleeding i love it. no bad side effects. i don&#039;t know if age makes a difference but i got it the day before i turned twenty."
