"i have had my implanon for the full three years and have had very little problems. when i first got it inserted in 2008 i experienced some hair loss and non stop bleeding for about three to four months. i stuck with it and have had almost no problems since then. i do get light periods every two weeks, but it is worth it for a birth control i never have to remember. i am now going to give mirena a try because it lasts for five years instead of three, but if i did not have the option of mirena i would definitely have kept my implanon."
