" more people have issues then not.  i made an appointment to get this thing removed after a year.  read the mostly bad reviews before but thought maybe my experience would be different. however, the bleeding is extremely common, i really wanted this to work since my arnp said such wonderful things about like not getting my period.  haha!!  i was on my period the first 5 months though it was light.  they had to prescribe a heavy dose antibiotic to stop bleeding.  i&#039;ve since been on the pill twice to stop it and it&#039;s only gotten heavier.  last night i went to get in the shower and blood started rushing down my leg like i had been cut in there or something.  i&#039;ve also gained weight since it was implanted and i am an avid yogi."
