"ok so i had this match shot into my arm in august 2015 after the paragard iud fell out of me. i had zero problems with the implant except getting my period for maybe 2 weeks after the insert. for the past 4 months everything has been fine. my period stopped 100% and i lost 15 pounds, but now in the 5th month i have started the sporadic bleeding. this bleeding is not like typical bleeding for me but just heavy spotting. i knew this was a side effect but as of right now it isn&#039;t that bad. i really think this method depends on your body and you should give it a try. i rate it a 6 because i have not had any unwanted side effects until this past month and i do not know if this bleeding will continue."
