I first had an implant after my first baby & it was great. Stopped my periods & no other side effects. I then had it removed after 2.5 years to conceive again. I had the second implant in for 2 years following another pregnancy & have only recently put two & two together as to why I’ve been having real low moods, zero interest in a sex life & not loosing any weight despite exercising regularly & eating well. I’ve also had regular spotting this time round. It’s been a completely different experience to the first! I had it removed this week and I can’t wait to know what ‘me’ feels like!

Worked really well for the first 5 years, but currently experiencing 3 week long periods with little breaks in between.

I noticed very few and minor changes whilst I had the implant and will not hesitate to use it again if necessary. Thanks.
