"this is a very good invention! i had my first implant back in 2012. as expected, i had heavy periods which lasted for 3 weeks to a month, and sometimes, my period overlaps monthly. but what happened to me was explained to me by the doctor before i decided to have the implant. that was no biggie actually because i&#039;ve been having heavy and longer periods even before i had the magic rod. yes, that&#039;s how i call it :) now, i have my 2nd rod inserted last year. i only have my period every 2 months, though still heavy and really lasts long, i am still ok. i just got anemic, but thanks to my iron supplement, i am so ok. feel free to try. there is no harm in trying, especially if you know what you have to deal with ;)"
