"while the implanon apparently works for some i would 100% not recommend it. after having it in for a month i then had my period for over 30 days straight, developed terrible acne, felt bloated and sick most of the time, and had constant cold symptoms. it definitely worked as a contraceptive though since i have been bleeding so much i haven&#039;t had a chance to have sex with my long term boyfriend. 
i have been told it takes time for some bodies to adjust to the hormones but to me it is definitely not worth it. 
i feel anxious every day because i don&#039;t know if i will have my period or not, or if it will be heavy or light. i&#039;ve spent a fortune on pads and tampons and i&#039;m sick of it. i am getting this ridiculous and debilitating bar removed asap."
