ok. we will all react differently, heres my experience after 7 yrs of implanon.

good.

no period for 7 yrs. no forgetting to take a pill. no oopsy and then "am I , arent I...???" low cost.

bad

depression ( already had it a bit but it got worse) weight gain that i just could not shift! big mood swings.

biggest thing.... NO LIBIDO!!!!! to the point of relationship disharmony. Got it out and three week later kaboom! it was back with a vengence.

but i say give it try. if you dont like it get it out. if your doc refuses (as some obviously have) get a new doc! its your body and your choice! dont let anyone tell you something is not a side effect if you truly believe it is. You know your body way better than a drug company does.

GL honey!
