"i had my implanon inserted about 6 months ago. i love this birth control! relatively painless insertion,  great for those who have trouble remembering to take their pill. i did have post partum depression and that i didn&#039;t treat. implanon intensified the feelings of depression but i knew i was depressed before the insertion. i am now on antidepressants for 6 months and will be done with them soon! everyone is different but don&#039;t be afraid to try this form of birth control. i didn&#039;t have a period for 6 months and i had one last week that was 3 days and very light. love it. no other unusual side effects."
