Update: Month # 11

Ok, I haven't updated in awhile. Sorry! But it's a good thing because there is nothing to update about! Good news, yet it makes for boring blog time.

So, everything is going great! The spotting almost never happens now and I don't appear to be getting anymore PMS flares, as far as I can tell. I have gained some weight, but that is just me not eating and exercising like I should :(. Also, I've heard so much advice about hair loss and how we go through cycles of increased hair loss and then a more normal amount, which seems to have happened. 

Overall, I'm very pleased with my decision. I still constantly thumb over the implant, it's an unconscious habit now. It is nice to not have to think about taking birth control, yet having that constant security of being responsible about birth control!

3 months

It's been awhile since I've done an update. Very busy with school and finals and papers and holidays. I'm still recovering and it isn't even over yet. Yikes!

It's been 3 months now and no problems! I did spot for one day on the 21st but it was minimal. Like I've said before, random spotting I can handle, excessive periods, I cannot.

I'm still paranoid about the hair loss. There really isn't any indication that I am losing hair but I don't want to wake up one day and realize that 50% of my hair is gone! Change is so gradual that you don't really realize it until you just do. kind of like gaining or losing weight.


That is all I have to report. Tomorrow I will call for my 3 month check up and see how that goes!
