I've had implanon since DD was 6 weeks old (she's now almost 11 months). I like it except that my period is irregular as in when it will come, but when it does come it will last for 1 week, then stop for a day, then on and off each day for a week so I know that I'll bleed basically for 2 weeks...that part seems to be consistant. I'm trying to remember to mark when the bleeding starts and stops and it appears that I can go anywhere from 20 days to 42 days with no bleeding, but this doesn't seem to be consistant yet so I always have to be prepared JIC.

DH & I are talking about contraception and thinking about going back onto the pill, but we will have to wait until he starts working again (soon) as the ongoing cost for the pill is heaps more. Being on heathcare consession, the implanon only cost me $5 and it lasts for 3 years which is great. I do find though that the day before and the first day of bleeding causes me to have really bad pms, I don't think I ever got it as bad when I was on the pill or not on any contraception at all.
