"so, after having the implant for 8 years. yes that&#039;s right, i&#039;ve been crazy enough to have this 3 times. was fine at first. then i started getting depressed, gained 7 stone throughout the years i have had it (on and off by dieting), depressed, unmotivated, tearful, low sex drive, acne, i&#039;ve got severe acne scarring on my back, face and chest and even feeling suicidal at times and constant, heavy painful periods. the only reason i have had it as long as i have is because i heard horror stories about other forms, and i am forgetful so pill is not suitable. i&#039;ve decided to pluck up the courage to get the iud and finally say goodbye. thank god! can finally get my life back hopefully!"
