birth control
"I've had the implant for 9 months almost to the day after switching over from the pill which I had taken for several years. I took the pill for three months back to back as recommended by my doctor when I first had the implant put in and only had a light period  (but heavy cramping) in the week I came off the pill. Since then until now I haven't had any bleeding, spotting, or cramping. 2 days ago I started experience sharp stabbing cramps and today have spotted a little. I really hope this doesn't continue/that it doesn't develop into bleeding half the month like it has for other people because up until now this has been amazing. If this continues though I'll probably go to my GP and get it removed."
