"i&#039;m eighteen years old and i had my implanon inserted in the middle of april, 2010. the insertion didn&#039;t hurt at all (just a little sting from the numbing medicine). after insertion, i had a regular monthly cycle then bled for three months straight. i thought i was off the hook after that when i had a month of no bleeding. i&#039;ve been bleeding brown ever since with only a couple-day breaks in between. i still have my sex drive (increasingly so) but i&#039;ve gotten a little acne and i&#039;ve gained about fifteen pounds. i&#039;m still trying to be optimistic but my boyfriend and i are both ready for the bleeding to stop."
