I just got my implant 12 days ago and it has been pure HELL!!! I went to my Gyno on Monday just to be checked out she gave me a pain med and something to stop the bleeding. Unfortunately the medication to stop the bledding has been discontinued Prostnel. So I am in limbo waiting for a new medication or to see if the bleeding will stop on its own.
