"i am coming up on having the implanon for a year. i really love it but it wasn&#039;t always the case. for the first 8 months i had missed periods and just weeks of discharge or bleeding. but after the 8th month i haven&#039;t had my period since. i didn&#039;t get any scarring from the injection and it healed pretty quickly. i haven&#039;t had any real mood changes depression like i would get while i was on the pill. my only real issue was that my face broke out a lot worse than it was before i started implanon. but now i don&#039;t get my period anymore, i found a face wash that works great, and i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant so i&#039;m happy with my experience."
