    There is an implant (not sure of the name) you can get inserted into your arm to provide continual birth control over a 6 month period. It also stops periods.

    Ask your GP, or presumably a Family Planning Clinic

      It's three years. It makes some people bleed non stop til they have it removed. It's also ridiculously expensive in the US.

        No there are different ones. One woman I know had an implant that stopped her having periods. My DIL had an implant that gave her a period every 2 weeks. Maybe the same thing affecting different people in different ways, I'm not sure - sorry, I'm neither a woman, nor a gynocologist.

          Pretty sure there's only one, but I could be wrong.

          Implanon?

          There's also an injection you can have every three months. It's chemically the same as the implant, just different delivery.

            Implanon is the one my Daughter-In-Law had, and hated (period every 2 weeks).

            A former friend had an implant and never had a period - so I presume it was a different one, unless it just worked differently with her. Unfortunately we are no longer in contact, so I can't find out what she was using.

            As I said, no "personal" experience here, so check with a doctor.
