"my implanon was inserted in september 09. when it was first inserted i had a very light period for 3 days and after that i stopped having periods until recently starting in january. i will bleed for about 2-3 weeks then a few days off and the bleeding starts again. this is the only side effect that i have and it is hard because i have a very high sex drive but other than that i must honestly say that i love the implanon a lot more than depo and the pill. with the implanon i know its there and i don&#039;t have to run to the doctor every 3 months or i don&#039;t have to remember to take it everyday at the same time. so come 2012 i&#039;m going back to get it reinserted but in a week my doctor will start me on estrogen. i was told that it helps with the bleeding."
