"i&#039;ve had implanon since september 2014. when i first got it, the week after i got my period and it lasted for 10 days. then i didn&#039;t get my next period until november. sometimes when i have sex i get this bad sharp pain in my abdomen. this has never happened prior to the implanon. my period skips two months at a time before it comes back again. when it comes back sometimes i have it and my cycle is regular or much longer than usual. i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s spotting or bleeding but i&#039;ll get my period, be good for a week then it comes right back, then be gone for a week and come back again. very very frustrating. i&#039;m hoping others can relate. overall, i like it. i&#039;m not pregnant and i feel sure of the protection it&#039;s providing."
