"had the implant for 40 days then had it removed. the whole 40 days i had continuous bleading and spontaneous cramping. it cost me $170 with insurance for removal and the doctor had a nasty attitude because i disregarded his suggestion to leave it in..he said it can take up to 8 months for my body to adapt and stop bleeding..i am 30 and have a husband i absolutely cannot wait that long and i don&#039;t know how healthy bleeding for 8 months really is"
