"i have had this implant for about 5 months based on the recommendation from my doctor. worst mistake ever. i always had irregular periods, but never bleeding for months on end with large clots. i&#039;m talking props from a horror movie looking blood &amp; gore. i informed her of my issues when i bled for 2 weeks straight. she said my body was just getting used to the hormones &amp; such. that is totally understandable. but i don&#039;t believe for a second any medication should caused bleeding for a month and a half, stop for a month &amp; start again. heavily. i&#039;m talking about a woosh &amp; puddle heavy. i&#039;m so glad i was @ home because i would have been mortified had i been in public. i&#039;ve been on several types of birth control but i do not suggest this."
