HI i too have also tried the implanon, i cannot take the pill or any other form of hormone contraceptive so my doctor suggested that i try this. i was willing and what i thought might actually be a god send, was the worst nightmare. I had constant bleeding for 6 weeks (heavy) i then went to my doctor and he told me to battle it out, i became anemic and was put on iron tablets, these didn't help, after another 3 months of heavy period bleeding and pains i went to see another doctor and he told me the same thing battle it out a bit longer, you body will adjust and get used to it. so i did. 3 more months down the trck i had had enough, my sex life was no longer even existant, i had spent a fortune on pads, and was still in pain and bleeding. The day i got it taken out i felt much better, the day after that the bleeding had stopped completly. I will never try any radical "heaven sent" contaceptive again as it was a nightmare for me.
It may work for some women but my advice is if you try it, see how you go after 6 weeks if yor not happy get it removed. I wouldn't wish what i went through on my worst enemy.
Good luck
