The hormones in your body will start to regulate after about six months[1].
If you have had the implant for less than 6 months, and the side effects are bearable, wait before asking to have it removed.
If you have had the implant for more than 6 months, talk with your provider about a different method. Still not working? If you have given it at least six months and the side effects are still bothering you, consider trying a shorter-acting, lower-dose method, such as patch; pill; ring. You could also try either IUD.
Try a different method: Hormonal IUD and IUD, Patch, Pill, Ring.
