"i&#039;ve had the implanon for about 4 months now and i&#039;m getting it removed in a few weeks. i&#039;ve had no period since i&#039;ve been on the implanon which is a major plus for me. but i have been an emotional person ever since it has been inserted. i&#039;m seriously surprised my fiance is still with me. i can&#039;t even stand to be around myself sometimes i get so bad. also at random times it will start to itch at the insertion point and if i lay on my arm in an awkward position it will pinch the rod. this is a really good form of birth control if it is inserted correctly, but it also has major side effects for some women."
