"i have had mine in for almost two years now and the bleeding is almost a constant.  i am on my period more often then i am not, which of course equals very little sex.  i kept hoping it would change and i would not get a period like my doctor said would probably happen.  over the last year i have had problems with extreme fatigue, backaches, joint pain, difficulty sleeping, and horrible acne.  i get it taken out in two weeks and can&#039;t wait.  unfortunately i should have done it sooner but i did not think about implanon as a source of the problems until my husband mentioned that it&#039;s probably my birth control and after checking the side effects sure enough all of my ailments are side effects.  we&#039;ll see if i feel better after removal."
