"so for not getting pregnant, this option is great. however, if you&#039;re hoping to be a lucky one who does not have undesirable menstrual changes, think again. most women have issues with this aspect and i am not an exception. i&#039;ve had the implant for a full year now. i have not stopped bleeding at all.. some days are lighter than others, but i&#039;m still always bleeding and it&#039;s very unfortunate but it&#039;s the only method that works for my husband and i."
