birth control
"I got the implanon in Feb. 2012. I'm going on 3 years using it. I will continue to use it as my BC plan because I'm forgetful with pills and I travel a lot. When I first got it, I wasn't on BC for over 7 months. I decided to get it and it works great. At first I was pretty emotional though for a few months. It calmed down and periods stopped soon after as well. It would be once a month for a couple of days. Then spotting every 2 months before it completely went away. I still get PMS but no period. No weight gain and no skin problems. Although this past month I started my period again and it has been going on for almost 2 weeks. I think it may be because the pestosterone may be releasing at slower levels. Nearing the end of the 3 years"
