Birth Control
"I had the Implanon put in in April of 2011, it is now December 11 and for the last 8 months I have had nothing but problems. I have gained about 10lbs and I rarely ever quit spotting and when I&#039;m not spotting I&#039;m bleeding. They said this might be normal for the first few months but like I said its going on 8 months and I just can&#039;t do it anymore. The bleeding has gotten so bad lately I have to make sure I have panty liners in just in case and the cramps seriously feel like I am being stabbed. I was on birth control pills before this and NEVER had any of these problems EVER. I&#039;m due to go to the doctor this week to get the Implanon removed. I would much rather be on the pill. When I was on it before I never had cramps, only had slight bleeding for 3-4 days."
