"my friend had suggested that i get this implant because she never gets her period and didn&#039;t have any side effects from it. my experience has been completely different. i have literally bled for 25 days straight, about 2-3 weeks after i had it implanted. this is ridiculous. i also had headaches for the first 3 weeks and was very irritable. i have been hoping this damn bleeding would stop. it slowed down a bit, then stopped for a day, then started again the next. the blood isn&#039;t enough for a tampon, and too much for a liner. so, i have been wearing pads...and my groin is basically rubbed raw from wearing pads for 25 days. i have gotten to the point where i have to give my groin a rest and have just been ruining my underwear."
