For the purposes of playing Devil's Advocate, I hated Implanon. Yes, it does have the convenience of being in your body so you don't hafta remember to take it, and yes, doctors say its easily removed if you're not happy.
But I found that when I tried to get mine removed, my GP wouldn't listen. We went to the ER twice because I attempted suicide (thats how badly it affected my moods) and I was told that it wasn't the Implanon. It was only removed becuase I tried to cut it out of my arm myself, so the doc figured it would cause less damage if he just did it.
A few of my girlfriends have also had it, and, out of 5 of us, 1 was happy with her experience. Three of us had extreme mood swings (verging on violent toward ourselves or others) and 1 started bleeding profusely.
I inderstand that it affects everyone differently, and I hope it works for you. I have posted this on other threads about Implanon as a warning, if you feel that ANYTHING is wrong, DON'T LET DOCTORS IGNORE YOU.
