"i&#039;ve had the implanon in since october 07 - brilliant. for the first 6 months i had bleeding/spotting. for the second 6 months, i got my period for 2-3 days every 2-3 weeks. however since january 09, no period at all (whoppee!). i actually lost 4-5 pounds after getting it in due to the constant bleeding. my libido has fluctuated a bit every now and then (very very high just after i got it put in, and somewhat lower at the moment).  i have several friends who also got it inserted: 3 had similar experiences to me, another had it removed due to anxiety/ depression (but bear in mind she was only 16 at the time which i think would be a bit young to get it!), and another had it removed due to bad acne. everybody&#039;s different, it&#039;s worked for me though."
