"i got my implanon inserted in november 07 and it was great at first, very easy to insert and in fact had no period for the next 7 months. the first year was pretty good, a little weight gain and mood swings but not bad. that is until last november of 2008. i started having severe stomach pains along with back and leg pain, had these episodes last 3-4 days and are so severe i felt i was in labor all over. i have had migraines, leg and arm pains, severe mood swings, depression, my periods are so out of control, i wear a pad every day just in case. i have had to go the emergency room 3 times in the past 4 months. i had insurance when i had it put in and now i don&#039;t so i am in the process of acquiring it to get this thing removed."
