I went through the old threads about Implanon here and was just wondering if anyone has anything new to add about their experience with it. I am planning on having one put in today. Im not sure if they'll do my pelvic exam and the implant all in one visit but I hope they do. I've got three kiddos so my husband is taking off work a little early so I can make my appointment time.

I read a lot on the net about Implanon. There are alot of mixed reviews. But from what I gathered the first 3-4mo are tricky with periods showing up and hanging out for weeks at a time and sometimes just spotting every day, every other day, etc. The general consenus was that things level off and get normal after those first few months. I talked a pdoc yesterday who thought hormonal birth control could be helpful for me. But I still don't know how to determine if I need estrogen BC or progesterone BC.

Any thoughts?
