"i got my implanon in march 2009.  the procedure was simple, but painful for a couple weeks. i am excited about the possibilities since i am an older mother who is not sure i am finished with babies.  however, i have &quot;spotted&quot; for 68 of the 90 days!  my actual period has decreased to very minimal but the constant use of a liner is just driving me crazy.  in addition i also have seen some weight gain and skin breakouts.  i am trying to add a estrogen patch for a month to see if we can break the cycle."
