"i&#039;ve had this birth control for 2 years now and want it out so bad!  i&#039;m super moody and my sex drive has gone way down.  my boyfriend for 5 years has noticed me not really into it anymore.  i got the implanon when i was 17 and now i&#039;m almost 20.  i was very active so my doctor told me to not worry about a period it shouldn&#039;t come back until i get it out. wrong! i have been bleeding since the day i got it in. i will get a few months with no period, then maybe spotting for like 4 days. sometimes i&#039;ll bleed for one day. the worst is the long heavy periods. every 2-3 months i&#039;ll get a period for about 20-25 days. right now i&#039;m bleeding and it&#039;s my 22 day of non stop.  it works for not getting you pregnant though."
