birth control
"I am 22 years old and have had implanon inserted twice. By my 23rd birthday in September, I will be due for the 3rd insert. I first got implanon when I was 16 after failing with the patch and the shot. I spotted for about 2 weeks when I first had it inserted and then I didn't have a period for about a year and returned to normal. The second insert caused me to spot for a few days, and after that I've had light, sporadic periods. I haven't had any unusual weight gain. I met my ex boyfriend right before my 18th birthday and were together until I was 21, having unprotected sex all the time. When we broke up, he ended up impregnating another woman so the birth control worked. I plan to keep getting implanon inserted until I'm ready for a family"
