"i got the implant inserted three years ago, i got constant bleeding. i would have a period for a month straight and really bad abdominal pain. the insertion was painful as the anaesthetic was not  effective. i couldn&#039;t sleep on my left side for a week. during the time i had the implant i had to go on the pill to stop the bleeding. after the first year i was still getting 2 week periods and 2 weeks of no bleeding, i eventually got it out after having it for 2 years. do not get this, it will ruin your sex life !!"
