"i&#039;ve had implanon for 9 months now and have considered taking it out a couple times. i do think you should do your research before deciding, everyone reacts differently, but i&#039;ve had several inconvenient side effects. i rarely bleed, and if i do its only for a couple of days and very light, but that&#039;s a plus! i&#039;ve always had migraines so its hard to say which ones are caused by the implanon, but i do see an increase in them and consistency (although they don&#039;t always last too long and not always as intense). i do experience horrible cramps though, which i never had before the implanon and mood swings accompanied by a bit of depression. i&#039;m keeping it in until the 3 years have past, but i&#039;m not sure if i will get another one."
