"got it in the beginning of the year. everything was good for about a month. then i started bleeding constantly. haven&#039;t had a break from bleeding for about 2 months now. spent almost as much money for pads/tampons as i did for the out of pocket money for the implant. hot and cold flashes are terrible. still have period cramps. only thing it&#039;s done good for is preventing pregnancy and it hasn&#039;t made me gain weight. definitely getting it taken out though just so the bleeding will stop and everything will go back to normal."
