"i first had the implant inserted in june 2011, i absolutely loved it. i had no periods whatsoever, and i was always forgetting to take the pill this contraception method i originally couldn&#039;t speak highly enough of. i had it taken out and replaced slightly early as i was going travelling and it would have needed doing whilst i was away, again couldn&#039;t fault it,  perfect for travelling not having to worry about taking the pill. i am now entering my third year on my second implant and  i have been experiencing bleeding on and off, a mixture of heavy and light flow for anything from 2 days to 8 days stopping for anything up to 2 days to 6 days before it starts again for nearly 2 months now and it is killing me. i&#039;m  hoping it will balance out!"
