"i had it implanted about 2 weeks ago on the day i should have started my period.  my period did not start instead i had all the pms symptoms and a little bit of spotting.  however a week after i got it my period came, bleeding, cramps. the worst period i have ever had by far. my periods usually last 3-5 days and i am now on day 8 of heavy bleeding and cramping.  i also feel very emotional and moody.  the site was badly bruised and hurt for 3-4 days when it was put in.  it looks a lot better now.  i am seriously thinking about having it taken out already because i can&#039;t handle the bleeding.  what&#039;s the point in taking birth control if you can&#039;t make use of it because you can&#039;t stop bleeding?
