I've read people have this problem. Personally, I don't. Some say it goes away after a few months, some gave up before it stopped. It is a known side effect though.

I would advice going to see your doctor this can be a problem associated with the implant and there are a number of options of what to do next.

Its a common problem, and if it persists may ust mean the implant isn't for you. I had the same problem on it, so switched to the injection. Ifthe prolonged periods are getting annoying i suggest going back to your DR, as they may then put you on the pill to try and regulate them. Also if your're bleeding heavily i would suggest maybe taking a vitamin supplment with iron as you're at risk of being aneamic. Or if you do have symptoms of aneamia then tell your DR as they can prescribe you iron tablets.
