Sometimes its so easy…

Update:
So yesterday I went to the doctor. I really liked this doctor he's an older man who's been in practice since 78" He said he thinks my pain and bleeding are not from the implant (implanon in arm) but just my body acting up. I've had PCOS for so long I really dont' know what normal would be. Anyways due to a lot of factors…
