"i got the implanon on april the 15th, and didn&#039;t bleed until 10th of may, when i started spotting. i spotted for about a week and then all hell broke loose (literally) i&#039;ve been bleeding heavily for 2 months now. people are telling me it stops after 3 months, but i&#039;ve read others saying they&#039;ve had it for 7-12 months! i have always had problems with my ovaries so generally that time of a month is killer, going on the implanon was purely to ease my periods, not getting pregnant is a bonus. i rate it a 9 on birth control. you can&#039;t have sex from all the bleeding; so you can&#039;t get pregnant.."
