Birth Control
"I had my Implanon removed today. I had it exactly one year because I felt like I had to give it a chance. At first I thought that the problems I was having were because of switching birth control, but they continued. I was on Depo Provera before and hadn&#039;t had a period in 5 years, and started getting light periods, then the slowly progressed and became longer. I have now been bleeding since early August and it&#039;s mid December. It occasionally hurt in my arm too. It would sting and itch. Removal was terrible (insertion wasn&#039;t bad) I had scar tissue build around it and it took 25 minutes of cutting and scraping to get it out. "
