anyone here got an implanon?
im pretty sure im going to have one inserted, but i wanted to know if anyone here has got one and could tell me anything about it?
did it actually stop their periods at all? make them better/worse?
any side effects?

It did hurt, but it got me out of cooking the dinner and doing the washing up for a couple of days and after that it didn't hurt anymore.
Think I've put on a bit of weight but I've put on so much for a variety of reasons that I think it would be unfair to blame the implant entirely
Do you want one? I can give you mine?
*grumbles about the pill and how it's supposed to make your periods lighter/less painful but has had cramps for 4 days*.
My doctor said to try the implant after the pill has regulated my periods, because I went on the depo injection and it wrecked them.
*passes you a hot water bottle*
how come you went on the depo? that thing scares me a bit!
I had one removed and a new one inserted so the bruising and stuff took a while to go down, I have two little scars on the inside of my left arm but nothing completely gross. Love the Implanon!
I havent seen an increase in my weight due to it either.
I had it some time last year, oh my god i hated it! it made my skin terriable and gave me bad mood swings. i had to have it taken out and have a scar there now and am back on the pill. it effects everybody diffrently i guess
Have you discused your scar with your doctor? Unless it was implanted too deeply it should not have left a scar... and if it did.. is that not coverd by the NHS?
my doctor said it lasts 5 years.. yet im reading around and its saying it lasts 3 years only? so im slightly confused!! can anyone tell me?
ooh im only 16 btw.. if that counts for anything!! but im on the pill atm and have been for a year (microgynon 30) and the last 3 periods i have had i have collapsed several times, my body giving me no warning. ive been depressed and my cramps are so severe i start hyperventilating.
so hopefully.. this implanon is the answer
