birth control
"I am about to get my first Implanon taken out after almost 3 years of having it.  The first year and a half I had no period - minimal spotting.  For the next six to eight months I had a period every 1.5 - 2 months and for only 3-5 days with minimal cramping.  The last portion of the 3 year cycle though it's become more like 1 full, or almost full period every two to three weeks, cramping elevated but still not what it used to be without any birth control.  

I am considering having another put in, if my doctor thinks that a new Implanon would set my body back to the 1.5 years of no periods, that was nice. If she thinks it will continue on where it's at, I will look into another form."
