ok. so i had the implant removed 24th august 2018. after having it in for 21 months. i bled heavily on it and the cramps were awful, plus it affected my mood. . i got my period 17th september (i was on before the week before the removal) had 4 days of heavy to medium bleeding then 3 days of spotting.

started my period 22nd october (which was a little longer than my normal cycle) have been on for about 4 days. and it is seems to be quite light ands seems to almost be finished.. which im not sure is normal for me. although almost 2 years of heavy bleeding its hard to remember the before. i took a pregnancy test 24 august when having my implant removed which was negative. and havent had sex since 29th june (which was protected). so im not pregnant. so i guess my question is has anyone else experienced changes to their period / flow/ length since removal?
