Hi Supa star, I had the implanon a few years ago, but ended up getting it out early after 2 years as it wasn't working for me. No side effects as such, although possibly lower libido? but the biggest annoyance was that I would bleed really frequently, and I'd had enough of that.

I had my DD 3 months ago, and am going tomorrow to have the mirena IUD inserted, as this is meant to mean less bleeding.

Goodluck with your decision, its hard with so much out there!
