Nexplanon implant
When I first went onto this form of contraception I had a period for 2 months, then after that it stopped for around 6 months, then it was so irregular I couldn't track it and it was so heavy and long. It was exhausting! After having 2 rounds of the implant I decided to have it removed, and not go onto another for a while.
