"i  have been using the implanon for the past 9 years. i had my first one inserted in 2005, i have not had any huge issues with the implanon and it has worked tremendously ~ still child free. some small issues that i have found over the past 9 years is that i will very rarely have my period but when i do it is extremely heavy and can last for upto 1-2 months. i am due to take my 3rd implanon this month but i am unsure if using another one will lower my chances of conceiving a child when i am ready. hopefully i will be having a fourth implanon inserted."
