"i would never recommend this form of contraception to anyone. i have never heard of a single woman (who i have known personally) who has had a good experience with the implanon. i had it in for 7 months. i bled non-stop for the first 3 months, then did not bleed for one month and then bled again (consistently) for 3 more months. i had terrible anxiety and depression. my mood swings were horrendous and i was so uptight and moody. as soon as i got it out, within days, i felt better and my periods returned to normal (like clockwork). my husband said that i was not myself when i had the implanon in and that having it insterted changed me into a completely different person."
