"first two months on this implant were great! no pain with insertion, normal periods (maybe one day longer total), slight breast tenderness, no noticeable change in sex drive/weight/attitude. but that&#039;s were my good review ends, sadly. 4 days after my second period i started bleeding heavily. this has lasted for 3+ weeks, and i got it removed yesterday bc i cannot deal with it anymore. since the bleeding started i broke out, have been increasingly up then down, on the verge of tears most days, and barely feeling sexual (probably due to the fact i&#039;m bleeding). np at planned parenthood has said lots of women have gotten this removed because of bleeding that lasts for weeks, and that it may take me a few more weeks to stop."
