"my first implant went extremely well. i got it put in during my period, which is usually heavy. the next time i had it the flow was noticeably less. after when they would come it slowed till it eventually stopped. i went 2 years period free but when it got close to the time to take it out my period was radically crazy. i would spot then stop the next day or get a heavy flow then the next week spot again. i noticed even before these symptoms that i would get a slight shock or ache where the implant was put but to me this was fine. i got it taken out and was off it for a year before getting another. this time my period is now hitting its two weeks. so i&#039;m going to switch to depo to see if that works better. they say to switching bc helps."
