"i had implanon for just over 2 years. it was great because i never had to remember to take a pill, the insertion was quick, easy and hardly hurt at all. i bled for 4 months straight after getting it put in, but then after that i probably only had 4 or 5 more periods in the rest of the 2 years. that part of it was great. however, i got incredibly depressed and had to go on anti-depressants. i had insane mood swings, my personality changed, and i had basically no libido at all. to add to my low/non-existent libido, implanon made me really dry down there so sex hurt every single time. i just took it out yesterday. the removal process was pretty quick and generally painless, my arm is a little sore today, but not too bad."
