"the only reason this birth control was effective, was because no bf wants to have sex with his gf when she is bleeding every day. i had the implant placed in august/september 2016. it has been about 7 months and i have not stopped bleeding. well maybe there&#039;s been a few days of no actual bleeding but then it started up all over again. when i wasn&#039;t bleeding, it wasn&#039;t a few days in a row. it was throughout the 7 months. so really i&#039;ve been having  second day period for the past 7 months. 3 months was normal i was told for the body to get used to the birth control, but 7 months not okay. my doc. said that 1 in 10 women have constant bleeding. i was just the very unfortunate one. i am getting it taken out next week!!"
