"i had implanon inserted in may &#039;10 and was told that i may experience abnormal bleeding for the first 6 months. so, i wasn&#039;t completely worried or angry when i had my period for six months straight after i had it inserted. when i was still bleeding heavily after the seventh month, i became frustrated and went to the clinic. they called the company and prescribed a very high dosage of ibuprofen 3x daily. when that didn&#039;t work, i was given a hormone pill, and that worked but only mildly. instead of constantly having my period, i had it for two weeks straight and had one week off. i also developed moderate acne after never having it (even in my teens), gained 30 pounds, and developed major depression and anxiety."
