"got this thing in my arm 1 month ago. insertion wasn&#039;t too bad, hurt a little bit, and was sore for a couple days. bruise went away after about a week. it was really itchy, and at times still is. i started bleeding 10 days ago, so i called my doctor. one of the nurses told me that i could continue to bleed continuously for the next 6 months....great. looking at other people&#039;s reviews, it looks like i&#039;m not the only one. at least it is a light amount, but still very annoying. i hope i can get through this and never have a period again. on the plus side, i don&#039;t have to take a pill everyday, and my insurance covered the implant, which would&#039;ve cost me $3000 out of pocket."
