"after reading all of the bad reviews about implanon, i wanted to give you all some hope.i received my implant on october 16, 2011 while on my cycle. the procedure was done by a doctor and was painless and quick. my cycle only lasted 5 days as usual, and there was no spotting for 2 weeks. my doctor recommended a daily multivitamin  to decrease bleeding and it has been working so far. however, whenever i have intercourse, i will spot bleed. i have not had another cycle up to this point, which is perfect for me. i think that everyone&#039;s body reacts to this form of birth control differently. but just give it a chance and know that it does work well."
