"i just got implanon today, it was basically my cheapest option considering i can&#039;t take birth control pills due to the hormones that are in them. i had a brain tumor removed in 2007 so that&#039;s why certain hormones don&#039;t work with me. i have a 19 months old daughter and my periods have been very painful and long. my ob gyn and i discussed this and we think it is worth a try. she told me to be on my period when i came in to get it and today is day 6 of it, i have read reviews of people bleeding constantly after getting the implanon. that is about the only thing i am worried about. i will be sure to post again in a few months. the process of getting the implant wasn&#039;t painful at all, just had a reaction to the numbing medication.
