"i&#039;ve had problems with my periods forever. oral contraceptives were not working for me. so, i talked with my physician about implanon and was astounded with how painless the process was! it worked like a dream! coming from someone who used to have cramps so severe and bleeding so extensive this was heaven, until.. the &quot;spotting&quot; happened (over 7 months later) i had heavy bleeding for weeks. yes, weeks. it would stop and i would give it another chance. after the 3rd time this &quot;spotting&quot; happened, i had enough. i had it removed. if it works for you, i am so glad."
