"i got the implant march 2016. the insertion they numb the skin with lidocaine and then you don&#039;t feel the insertion at all. after it was bruised and sore for a week when touched. a month after i started bleeding very heavy and clots, lots of bad cramps and nausea. that period lasted 18 days all very heavy my doctor said it&#039;s normal so i just waited it out. then no bleeding for about 8 weeks and 2 days after my gastric bypass surgery i started spotting and then it went from heavy to light flow different every day. that went on for 45 days. then had a biopsy to be sure it was the implant causing the issue. normal yay! now back to heavy bleeding 1 week after that stopped. doc said give it 6 months so i&#039;m waiting."
