Implanon isn't recommend for women who don't want their menstrual cycle messed with - my first period on implanon came two weeks early, was super light and lasted about 16 days. Also I was a real mess for the first week or two of having it put in, and thinking about it now, the Implanon may be why my bipolar is kicking my butt at the moment (have had it in for 6 weeks now).

Implanon is a hormone contraceptive, releases progesterone I think it is over a course of three years.
