"i have just had my 2nd implant taken out. in total i have had it for 6 years. at first it was great, a 5 day period once every 3 months or so. after i had the second one put in this changed to having a period for about 14 days every 1 or 2 months...not so great. i don&#039;t think i had the severe moods wings during the 1st stint but i most definitely had them with the second. also towards the end i had awful stomach pains. i have put on roughly about 2 stone in 6 years despite trying to lose it constantly. i really think that the difference between the two was down to age, i was 17 when it was first put in and i loved it, but the second one between 20-23 really didn&#039;t do me any favors!"
