"i got the implanon inserted in june 2013 the procedure was painless, except a huge bruise where the insertion was performed. from that day up to six (6) months i did not get my period at all. however, my mood swings where definitely present! i just felt emotional and sensitive, and i would cry for no reason. and trust me hubby noticed! after six months of not having my period i finally got it for two (2) months straight. from then on it was spotting, and then regular 4 day periods (that was normal for me either 3-4 day periods) then week long periods, then a month late or 2 months late. i have my appt. next week for removal/ and new insertion of the nexplanon. honestly, everyone is different i am glad i did get it because it worked for me!"
