I was on the implanon for 2 and a half years and had a cycle the whole time. Actually I would sometimes have two a month and it was heavy and long, it was very frustrating. However a good friend of mine loves hers and has no cycle. After implanon I got the paraguard Iud which I had for 1 year exactly before I had to have it surgically removed after it moved. Now I'm on depo and love it. Birth control effects everyone differently.
I was already on birth control. I took a progesterone minipill for 2 years and only took a week off every 3 months to allow for a cycle. I was really bad about taking it though which is why I went off. Sometimes I would forget a pill or two and it would cause me spotting, but also bad cramps. I know I don't get my cycle on progesterone only BC if I don't cycle it. I won't do an IUD for pretty much that exact reason. The copper ones can even get imbedded into your uterus. At least if something happens in my arm, it's not as big a deal to just cut it open a bit and pull the thing out.
