"i had my implanon inserted in october 2009 and had it removed today. at first i was very happy, felt great, it healed super fast and easy. the skin around it did itch a whole lot. no rash, just incredibly itchy skin! the itching started about 2 weeks after the procedure when the original bruise went away and lasted for another 2 weeks. i was thinking i was allergic to it and almost had it remover but the itching stopped just as suddenly as it started. i still had my periods, but they were irregular and not very heavy. i did gain 8 lb, not a big deal.
now, the reason i had it removed is i became super emotional, always unhappy for no reason, often tired, had headaches, lost sex drive and it just kept getting worse."
