"i&#039;m eighteen and got the implant on july 10th. it is now 5 months later, and i have been bleeding nonstop. i got the implant the day before when my period was suppose to begin. it never came on, but about a week later i bled for 10 days. it was light, and then it went off. a few days after that, i began bleeding, and i have been ever since then. i liked this implant you just get it in and don&#039;t have to go back until 3 years later. i didn&#039;t have any problems with weight gain, if anything i lost weight and my family told me i look sick. but i was exhausted once i first got it, and i had mood swings. i just recently went back and got birth control pills, which is suppose to stop the bleeding. i have 4 pills left and i&#039;m still bleeding....."
