"i&#039;ve had this implant for 3 years and am having it removed on wednesday this week. since having it inserted i&#039;ve experienced prolonged and irregular bleeding (the longest being a 12 week solid period). it has had a huge effect on me as a person and has at times put considerable strain on my relationship (thank god i have a hugely understanding and patient partner) i&#039;ve had mixed reviews from friends and i think its just."
