"i first got the implant back in november 2014. the first two months were terrible, i didn&#039;t get the period like most did but my mood swings were completely out of control. after some time, i started feeling like myself again. i&#039;m still a little more crabby than i used to be and i am constantly tired. i could handle those side effects though. what i can&#039;t handle is the weight gain and the periods. about 4 months ago, my period started and really hasn&#039;t stopped. i&#039;ve been spotting and heavily bleeding for so long. i called my obgyn and they prescribed the hormones but once i&#039;m done with the pills, it&#039;s starts right up again. what&#039;s the point of having the implant if i have to take a pill everyday anyway! i just want it out."
