"i&#039;ve had mine since april 2015, it&#039;s now october 2015, and 1 month after having implanon inserted i have been bleeding ever since. 7 months of period with only 2 weeks break from it! it&#039;s ridiculous! i travel for work it&#039;s so friggin annoying to have to worry about what plane seats are going to look like! i had this inserted purely for the fact i was over period pain (my family has bad ovaries so period pain is 1000x worse) i was aware there would be spotting and occasionally period, but jeez 7 months?? it&#039;s a really good method of birth control, you can&#039;t get pregnant, why? because you bleed to much, so sex is out of the question."
