birth control
"I got the implant a year & a half ago. for the first 9 months I loved it. I didn't have a period at all for those nine months, which wasn't weird for me because beforehand my periods were very rare anyways (my menstrual cycles got crazy after the Depo shot... and stayed crazy for over a year). After the nine month mark, my period came back, which was fine... except it NEVER stopped & if it did stop, it was for maybe 2 or 3 days, then it'd be right back.  My doctor suggested taking the pill on top of the implant to regulate my periods. it worked for a month, then stopped for 2 months altogether. & now it's back with a vengeance, the worst cramps & heaviest bleeding I've ever experienced. Such a hassle, I'm getting it removed tomorrow."
