"i received my implant in december 2015. it&#039;s now july 2016 and i have hardly stopped bleeding. there were 2, maybe 3 instances where i didn&#039;t bleed, but it lasted maybe a week and then i started again. sometimes it&#039;s just spotting, but the majority of the time i feel like it&#039;s a full on cycle. i&#039;ve also experienced weight gain (i was 170 when i got it and i&#039;m now 207), and also it&#039;s hard to lose it. i&#039;m constantly at the gym and eating right but i&#039;ve maybe lost 2lbs. i&#039;ve also experienced heightened anxiety and horrible mood swings. i wish this could have worked out. i like not having to take a pill, but i&#039;ve made an appointment to have it removed. it may be right for some, but not for me."
