"hi, i&#039;m 23 and got my first implanon in 2009, the first 6 months were hell! i was really depressed and took some time to get out of it. i&#039;m now on my 3rd as the second was faulty and i love it. no periods at all i&#039;ve lost 25kg. not one scare within that time. the start is a little rocky but now i say it&#039;s worth it."
