Well, so far, I have enjoyed not being on birth control.
However, my period is being weird, and irregular, and more annoying than usual.
I download a period tracking app on my iPad as soon as I got Implanon removed. I figured having some idea of what my body is up to is a good idea since I am not longer controlling it with hormones or what have you. It has helped a lot, and it is how I realized just how weird my period is being.
As you might have read, I got my period like 5 days after getting the rod removed. It lasted for 5 days, then it was done. Yay.
The next one took 45 days to come along again, and it was one of the most heavy periods I have ever had - for like 2 days. Then it went away totally for a day, then it came back for another day, then it was done.
Wtf . . .
I had my last period the first week of March and it ended after 5 days, and as of yesterday, I have another one! That is a 23 day cycle. I went from a 45 day, to a 23 day! Annoying, right?
I tried looking up if other women have talked about irregular periods after having Implanon removed, but they are all about pregnancy . . . ew. So, I guess I'm just going to hope its normal and my body sorts it all out. Before all this Implanon business, I had a 30 to 33 day cycle, which I would love to go back to at any time. But for now, I'm dealing with my out of whack hormones . . . grrrrrrrr
Also, I have not made any plans to get an IUD yet.
