birth control
"Went on implanon for birth control. Insertion was a breeze. Clinician used anesthetic and inserted rod in 2 mins flat. Immediately was protected from pregnancy. Had no period for two years on it. At 2.5 years, I had developed a very large ovarian cyst on my ovary. It was so large they had to remove it surgically and biopsy it. Dr said it wasn't related. Six months later- another large cyst. Again. Had to have it removed. This one was 16cm around. Dr said again wasn't related. On the third cyst, went to different dr. She immediately removed it and said she has had several patients get severe cysts while in implanon. Got it taken out immediately and started estrogen pills to shrink my cyst. No cysts (that are symptomatic) since removal."
