"i first started implanon in 2008. it&#039;s highly effective and at the time my periods were light and short. i kept it for all three years and had it removed about after a month it was due. the tech had to wiggle and tug a bit but overall it was not that bad. i asked to receive another implanon in the same arm. i am now a year into my new implanon and a few issues have come forth. about three times now, i have had my period for an entire month. the amount of bleeding changes throughout the month and my irritated state is affecting my relationship. i knew i cried more while on my period but crying and biting peoples heads off the whole month sucks. so it could either be a good or bad experience depending on the person."
