"i got the implant a little over a year ago and for the first 7ish months it was good. i had practically no period except maybe a little spotting every other month or so that lasted like 24 hours. 

but for the past 5ish months i&#039;ve been bleeding literally non stop. my face is almost always broken out &amp; before this i would maybe get like one pimple during a period... also i have pretty significant mood swings.

i&#039;m probably getting it removed and going back to the pill. i&#039;ve heard pretty much everyone i know that has gotten it has had it removed within a year-a year in a half. it&#039;s unfortunate because it is very effective birth control which is why i am hesitant to remove it and have tried waiting so long. but the side effects are unbearable"
