Bleeding irregularities represent the most common etonogestrel subdermal implant (ESI) removal indication. ESI placements (n=304) from June 2007 to April 2011 were grouped by removal indications. Group characteristics were compared using one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis and χ(2) test. Of
