"i got mine in april 2014, since then i have had constant periods, head aches, acne, and my arm where the implant us very very sensitive. i would definitely get it taken out if it wasn&#039;t for the fact i don&#039;t want a child and my boyfriend likes me having it so we are worry free. but knowing i can&#039;t go a week with out at least spotting makes me more then depresed. i hate having to wear a panty liner all the time. i don&#039;t recommend it. get the shots every 3 months. i believe i am about to make the switch"
