"i have had implanon since october 2010, a month after my son was born. i gave it a try because one of my friends had it and it worked great for her. i love it. i don&#039;t have to worry about anything and i haven&#039;t had a period since i&#039;ve been on it. but i do have to say this about it about 2 weeks or so ago (i&#039;ve had it for a little over a year now). i&#039;ve been getting some of the not so good side effects (mood swings, depression, headache, some weight gain). i do love implanon and i&#039;m sad that i have to get it out but i have to do what feels right to me. i would recommend this though."
