Answers:
I had the same fears!. Since I've had mine inserted I saw a drastic change in my moods and my periods became so minimal I was thinking every month that I was pregnant!. I believe it's just the nature of the implant, but my doctor told me not to worry because they could become gradually lighter and possibly stop all together!. Just to be on the safe side I still purchase a pregnancy test once a month, lol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Implanon is a relatively new contraceptive technology that's injected underneath the skin of the upper arm by a health care provider!. It was approved by the U!.S!. Food and Drug Administration in 2006!. It's much like Norplant (which is no longer available in the United States), but with only one rod!. The Implanon rod slowly releases a progestogenic hormone called etonogestrel over the course of three years!.

Implanon is inserted relatively painlessly into the underside of the upper arm after local anesthetic is used to numb the area
