"i&#039;m on my second implant. the first was brilliant had hardly any periods, just a tiny bit of spotting. a year ago i had my first removed after 3 attempts at finding it, it was eventually removed after a scan. my second has been completely different. after about 6 months i&#039;ve started having light periods or spotting which hasn&#039;t ceased in the last 2 months. if no improvement i may consider removal."
