When you started using Implanon: I used Implanon for 18 months somewhere around 2003
Any issues with insertion?: Some bruising, it hurts a little to insert.
Any side effects or problems?: For the first 12 months it was great, then for the next 6 months I had irregular, but very light spotting sometimes for 2 weeks at a time. It was this reason I had it removed.
Would you recommend to others? Why?:I would recommend it, though it is not for everyone. You will only know how it will affect you once you have tried it. Not having to worry about contraception for 3 years is fantastic.
