"i&#039;ve had the implant for nearly two years and while it has done its job and kept me free of pregnancy, i&#039;ve menstruated every couple days from this thing.  i menstruate at least three times a month, full cycles not &quot;spotting.&quot;  my doctor told me it would even out after six months, but clearly that didn&#039;t happen.  the few times i had a week or so where i was free of blood, my next period was super heavy and lasted well over a week.  it totally killed my sex drive on top of making me bleed like a stuck pig.  i kept it this long out of laziness, and the idea of an iud makes me queasy.  tomorrow it&#039;s coming out, and the iud is going in.  queasiness aside, i&#039;m spending a goddamn fortune on tampons and pads."
