"i&#039;ve had the implant since october 2015 so i&#039;ve been on it 1 and a half years. unlike a lot of people, at the start i had a great experience, my periods got much lighter and then stopped all together and i felt great. however recently, since starting university in september, i&#039;ve had dramatic mood swings and often cry hysterically about nothing when i&#039;m by myself. it&#039;s making it hard for me to study and taking its toll on my long distance relationship. i&#039;m thinking about getting it out but i&#039;m not hesitant to go onto any other hormonal contraception. luckily i&#039;m under 25 in the uk so the nhs will cover any new cost and provide advise. i just want to feel like myself again."
