Hi,
I started on the pill, and had no periods. Then I went onto the contraceptive injection (or Depo), and just last week I got the implant. I haven't had a period since I started.
My doctor told me that with the pill and injection about 85% of women don't have a period, but with the implant, because it's a much lower dose, only around 30% don't have periods.
She also said if you've been on the pill or something before, it can take up to six months or so for your periods to return, as a sort of hangover from them.
Hope this helps.
I've been on the implant for 8 months and I've only had one period right when I got it put in, nothing since. I love it :p:
