"i got this implant about 16 months ago, and at first, i hated it and i wanted to get it removed. but, i kept telling myself to just give it another month, and i&#039;m glad i did. like many others, i experienced a lot bleeding and spotting. i would spot for two weeks, and be on my period for a week. i was off my period for only one week. it was very frustrating. i lived with that for a year. at the year mark, things changed - i stopped getting my period! i only spot for a day or two, and only once or twice during the day. at the begging, i did experience headaches, but that only lasted for about a week or two. i am happy with this implant."
