birth control
"I have had the Implanon since May of 2009, and my experiences are similar to the bad ones. From the time I got it, I had light periods for almost 6 weeks. Then the bleeding stopped for about 2 months. Now it is September and I started again and it will leave and come back. I have also noticed that when lifting heavy objects I will have unexpected bleeding. I haven't taken it out because I am in school and this problem is a lot better than having an unexpected pregnancy. However, those who don't have the patience for this type of thing beware. I do have mood swings, my skin was beautiful before, now I break out.  No headaches and weight gain yet. However, this process is scary because your periods are unpredictable."
