"i had implanon inserted on the 28/08 this year. at first i had all the normal side effects - spotting for a few days and such. but then i got my period for two weeks. annoying, but i&#039;d live. then came the thrush. every time i get rid the infection, i spot and the ph change brings it back! other then that, i haven&#039;t had any problems with it (even lost weight)."
