"i had the implant fitted in may last year due to not being able to take the combined pill as i suffer with migraines and was advised to try the implant. it does  the job when it comes to contraception but the side effects are hard!! i&#039;ve experienced spotting ever since having it fitted so was put on the mini pill as well to control it (worst idea ever, too many hormones!!!) . i&#039;ve also been struggling with terrible acne on my face, neck and back. even with the help of other medication from the doctors, nothing has helped and it&#039;s starting to get me down. i will be having this removed within the next couple of weeks :("
