"i had my implant put in july 2014. i&#039;ve had no stop issues ever since! i&#039;ve had a 3 month long period, heavy and painful periods, extreme weight gain etc. i was a size 6/8 i&#039;m now a 10/12 (i&#039;m not eating any different). due to the weight gain and issues with periods i wanted it taking out asap! i went to have it taken out and they couldn&#039;t find it..the doctors, clinic etc nobody could find it! i have now been referred to a specialist to use a scanner to find it- i&#039;m sticking to the pill when i finally get it taken out"
