I’ve never had any type of BC before but got the implant 6 weeks after I had my baby. Insertion was easy but from the start I had a constant period, I was depressed and anxious and had no sex drive, which I thought might have been postpartum issues, but its been 2 YEARS and the bleeding hasn’t let up and all the psychological effects are still very apparent.

They kept telling me to wait it out but I can’t do it anymore! I’m so done and I absolutely will not be using or recommending this to anyone again.

Full disclosure, I got this after I had a baby so, my hormones and recovery was something I was already dealing with. I did suffer some PPD so, I cannot attest to how it may change you when you first get it. However, my first year, I did have a never ending period. I got some Chinese herbs to help end that. I also lost a lot, alot of weight during that year. I got down to size 0 and I would eat like normal. After that year and everything semi went back to normal, I totally forgot about it. I just got it replaced a few months ago and I feel no change and it could be that my body is just used to it. No babies, no side effects, and not something I have to worry about falling out or forgetting to take. Just like any birth control... it affects women differently. Good luck :)

Worst birth control ever. Like many reviews I’ve read, I experienced major weight gain, hair loss, and anxiety.

The implant procedure was simple, quick, and almost painless. As birth control, it was very effective - I did not not pregnant. I did have side effects though, such as weight gain and total loss of sex drive, that resulted in my removing the implant after a year.
