In many ways this is the perfect contraception for me and I've had it since 2018, now in 2022. Discreet, no need to have painful cervix insertion, works a charm, stopped my periods (irregular before so they were difficult to deal with/predict), and not too many hormones (I felt the pill made me more emotional). However the one major side effect is decreased libido and changed sensation during sex due to vaginal dryness. This is a downside for me and I am considering changing once the 3 years is up.

The first two Nexplanon implants I had were great. No periods, no pregnancy, no serious side effects. However, they were reformulated before I got my third one and it gave me increased anxiety and random crying spells and low mood which resolved after it was removed.

I felt better in myself when I stopped taking it as I couldn't feel anything in my arm that made me want to gag

Was great for the first year and a half, but around the year and a half to two year mark it starting pinging inside my arm feeling like an electric shock and made me feel very sick

Really gutted with this. For the first 6months this was a DREAM. Then after 6 months I began bleeding for 6 months at a time, with a break of 1 week. I tried other pills, blood thickening tables ect but nothing resolved the issue. Eventually I had to have this removed :(

I came off it, 3 months later I started to feel happier. People told me i got my smile back which to me is most important thing (mental health comes first). My hair grew back after it got so thin. Less boob soreness. 

Ruined my mental health, not an exaggeration. Only stayed on for so long coz of COVID19 so couldn’t get it out

I'm on my third one now. The first 2 years of each one are great, skin and mood are improved. No more hormonal migraines and no periods. But in the third year it becomes a problem, irregular periods and extended bleeding, low mood and skin break outs, that are all worse than when I'm not on any contraception at all.

Favourite birth control method, little to no side affects

Overall I would highly recommend the implant for anyone looking for an effective and low maintenance birth control. I've recently had it refitted as a result of liking it so much! As someone who struggles with anxiety which is greatly effected by my hormones this has been great at regulating them and has largely cleared the side effects I get when on my period. 
The only negative thing I can say about it is that I now have irregular periods (1 every 3-4 months) but it's really not a big deal to me due to the implants high effectiveness. 
I would however recommend trying a non-oestrogen birth control pill before getting it, as I did this before getting it fitted to try and see what my mental health was like on the hormones. If you're good with the pills, you're most likely going to be good with the implant. 
Insertion is absolutely painless passed the aesthetic, although removal feels uncomfortable. But for 3 years of no stress it is absolutely worth it!

I swapped to the Sensiplan method of fertility awareness which is 99.6% effective, and allows you to work around your body.  I find it very empowering and my libido has increased.  Fertility awareness has also made me try different kinds of sex that I might not have before when im in my fertile window. 

Swapped to this from the Kyleena IUS and it is honestly worth it, the one reason why im not using now is that I wanted my periods back.  Fuss free, side effect free contraception that is 99.95% effective!

Absolutely horrible, my body didnt respond to anything sexual even if I was turned on mentally, i gained 15 kilos of weight within only a few weeks without any change to my exercise or eating habits, horrible anger and mood swings, suddenly i had regular anxiety attacks and terrible acne that made me not want to go outside without a thick layer of makeup. Ive cried in the mirror countless times ever since, and the acne didnt go away until I got accutane prescribed.
