At first stopped my periods for 1 year but after periods came back much lighter but at random times. Now periods are more regular and still light rather than random spotting. Recently the doctor found a cyst in my ovary they think was caused by the implant.
Decreased sex drive

I really didn’t like this. I felt I was always bleeding and the first 3 months are brutal emotionally.
Somewhat negative mood
