Amy, I had implanon and it sucked. I had it in for 6 months, and 3 out of 4 weeks I was bleeding. It took a couple of months for my hormones to settle down again. the bottom 3 cycles on my FF page show how it affected my temps and therefore my cycle. 1ced1c Ovulation Charts

LJ, We did the friends and the mates rates thing. Our wedding was $3000. We were very lucky one of our friends was a professional wedding cake maker so the cake was one of the cheapest things. a friend had done a bit of floristry and she did my boquets with flowers a family friend of DH's grows professionally, and we used our neigbours car and some Avis rent-a-cars with family driving. our $3000 did not include our rings. rings were our personal budget, wedding was my Dad's budget.
