Etonogestrel
"I'm 25 yrs old, I got my Implanon inserted 02/08/2008, it been 19 months. When I first got it, there was a lot of bleeding, I didn't like it. My periods were like clock work before insertion, But when I got the Implanon it was out of whack. But I guess my body had to get used to this new foreign body inside of me. It's different for everyone. I'm not having the problem with weight gain, or hair loss, but I do get headaches and my breast are sore sometimes. I like it because I'm not worried about contraception. But like I say it different for everyone, my periods are normal now. I'm dealing with the side effects, better than another kid."
