"i had my implanon inserted in my arm in august of 2010. i still haven&#039;t gotten my period and it&#039;s february 2011. i&#039;m so happy that i gave up on lo-estrin fe birth control pill. i was having a hard time taking the pill on time. the switch has made my life so less stressful. i&#039;ve saved money from buying regular birth control. implanon cost me only $40 for 3 years. my other birth control cost me $25 a month plus girl products. this has been a huge savings. i have had acne problems, but i ended up getting some nice face wash. i was a little hesitant about getting it done since all the negative reviews. you just have to try it for yourself."
