"i had the implanon inserted in 2010 when i was 17 years old. insertion procedure fine. i experienced a little spotting for the first 6 weeks which was normal. after this i had no periods and virtually no side effects for 3years. i loved this contraception so much that i immediately put a second one in when my 3 years were up. i kept the second implanon in for 2 years and decided to take it out as i was beginning to get unpredictable bleeding (which could last for a couple of weeks) and my mood became low. i felt this was my body telling me it had had enough. however, overall i am delighted with my experience on the implanon. for 5 years i didn&#039;t need to worry about pregnancy or periods! i have also recommended it to many of my friends."
