The pain the neck implant!

Hello,

I'm not sure where I should have posted this so I'm sorry if this is under the wrong topic.
I had the implant put in mid-end of July. I used to be on microgynon, however since having my son nearly a year ago I have noticed it turns me in to "evil bitch" and taking a pill everyday was becoming a challenge while running around after my son.

Anyway, my periods were always regular while on the pill and very heavy. I though the implant would save the hassle of remembering to take a pill everyday. I did a lot of research and I know it can cause side effects and irregular periods etc.

My problem is, my first period on the implant came 2 days early lasted about 8 days (usual duration for me anyway) and was very light. However 2 weeks later, on the 29th of August I got another period, fairly medium to heavy and it's not stopped since! 5 weeks Tuesday since I got this "period". I have been to the doctors who prescribed me the mini pill (doesn't contain the progesterone like microgynon so shouldn't turn me evil). To try to stop the bleeding, that was a week ago and it doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stopping.

I'm sorry this is so long but I'm wondering if I should just have the damn thing taken out, if I'm taking a pill that contains the same hormones anyway then why bother! I've looked at the coil, injection etc and they don't appeal to me. Any advice and guidance if I should just have it taken out and use the mini pill instead!
