"i had implanon for just about two years. the first 17 months was awesome, no bleeding (at all), &amp; no cramps. right at 18months i started having irregular bleeding/spotting almost every week. it wasn&#039;t bad, but it got pretty annoying. i just had it removed today, and switched back to trinessa. i gained only around eight pounds (which was a lot for me because i have always been petite). my face was constantly broke out!"
