thanks for all your responses
i really hate being on the pill and am scared after reading lots of info on mirena and implanon
we have talked about it a lot and dh has said the if were ever to divorce and he got together with another woman, he would definitely not want any more kids with her. i'm not 100% that i wouldn't want another one if i started a new relationship, so it definitely has to be him that has it.
i think maybe we'll wait 12 months and then do it, thanks for all your opinions...

can i ask one more thing for those of you whose dhs have had it...
how bad was the pain factor? how long did they have off work? how much did it cost?
ok...that was 3 more things LOL
