"i got implanon as a teenager. after insertion (which hurt like hell) i had constant light spotting for 6 months. when i tried to get it taken out, the doctor couldn&#039;t find it. i went in a second time to a different gp and again he couldn&#039;t get it out. in the end i put up with it for about 2 years, and had to go under general anesthetic and have an operation in hospital to remove it- it was deep in the muscle and curved around itself. i now have a nasty scar as a result of cutting into the arm several times to have it removed. 

now many years later- i have been trying to concieve for over 10 months without success. whether or not this is related i don&#039;t know- but i wish someone had been there to tell my 17 year old self to stay well away"
