I had the implant, and it had awful side effects for me. I ended up being rushed into hospital after losing lots of blood. It was horrendous. I was out shopping in town with ds1 (he was 6) and felt I was coming on my period. I went to go to the toilet, and with 10 minutes blood was running down my leg. Its supposed to stop periods, but didnt for me! I ended up having it removed,
Don't let me put you off though, I have a friend who also had it around the same time and she has had no problems with it! Just goes to show that what works for one person might not work for the other!
OH has now had the snip, so luckily I dont have to worry!

MJ - OH dosnt like the idea of there being a coil 'up there'
a friend had the implant for 4 years and had no probs but thanks for the warning 2LM.
I've had the implant for a few months now and had no side effects at all. I've only had two kind of periods and tbh i totally forget that it is there! It was weird at first but i really forget about it now. I would recommend it, although i'm not too keen on getting it removed! It gives me the heebie jeebies but i am putting it at the back of my mind just now! lol. It lasts three years and has a pretty good success rate!

I spotted ALL the time which is a common side effect and even worse than that I was a HORRIBLE person with it! I was diagnosed with PND but as chatting with my older sister who had the implant a few years back and she told me she felt the same as I did and she doesn't have kids. Willing to try anything to send the Bitch away I had it removed and voil????...nice Mummy again!
Just a warning...
