"i&#039;ve had the implant for 9 months almost to the day after switching over from the pill which i had taken for several years. i took the pill for three months back to back as recommended by my doctor when i first had the implant put in and only had a light period  (but heavy cramping) in the week i came off the pill. since then until now i haven&#039;t had any bleeding, spotting, or cramping. 2 days ago i started experience sharp stabbing cramps and today have spotted a little. i really hope this doesn&#039;t continue/that it doesn&#039;t develop into bleeding half the month like it has for other people because up until now this has been amazing. if this continues though i&#039;ll probably go to my gp and get it removed."
