"i received the implant in december 2012 because i had problems remembering to take a pill everyday and my doctor thought it would be good for me since i did well on the shot at one point. the first 4-5 months were a little rough. i had my period for a few days, it would go away and suddenly be back 5 days later. i just never knew when it would hit but it was always at least fairly light and manageable. after that 4-5 months my period completely stopped. i did get it a couple time but i knew it was from stress i put on my body that caused it (new diet, suddenly working out, extremely stressful work week...). i love it. i just got a second one put in and am going through the adjustment once again but it&#039;s not nearly as bad as the first time."
