"so i had gotten the implant in my arm because i had read that this birth control could stop you from having a period yay right!  and the first nine days were fine and then after that i was constantly bleeding. i had the implant in my arm for a year and five months. i bled the whole time! i also had some side effects. migraines, nausea, gained 20 lbs, even had hot flashes. i finally could not stand it anymore and had it removed. it took me three months to start my period. before i got the implant my periods were heavy so i wanted the implant to make it stop  and after the removal my period is light now."
