I just had the implanon implant put in today, and i have been reading some horror stories about the implant, about how it gives you awful side effects and how if it is inserted too deeply, cannot be removed!
now im worried mine is inserted too deeply and i wont be able to get it out if i get some awful side effects. the problem is i cant use the combined pill because the oestrogen levels dont react well with my body at all and i thought that going for the implant would be the best method for me, because i dont have to remember to take a pill or anything like that.
can anyone tell me anything about the implanon and them, i have two friends who are on it, on has acne due to it, the other has mood swings and has crazy long period for months at a time.
i am now worried that i will gain weight, get spotty and get moody and this will affect my relationship with my boyfriend. why can't controception be easier!!
any advice would be wonderful thankyou!

ok
first stop worrying please everything is fine
feel your arm where it was put in, can you feel it under skin? if so then its fine its in right place, its when you cant feel it, or see it then you should go back to dr or nurse.
its placed between your muscles so it cant dissapear into your body, and so you can move your arm without damage or feeling it.
i have had mine for nearly 2 years now, and i have no side effects.
everybody is diffrent so you will just have to see but your dr or whoever put it in should of explained.
there shouldnt be any weight gain or any side effects, tests showed less then 100 people out of 1000 had any side effects !
my periods have completly stopped which suits me fine, and it has no effect on your fertility, but some women can get normal periods, light or heavy, you ust dont know what your going to get, just like periods without the implant.
its a good choice for contraceptive because if like me remembering to take pills at same time everyday isnt easy and its more effective then oral pill and condoms.
all i can say is everything is going to be fine, dont worry about it getting lost. and dont listen to others horror stories, for everyone story you hear about it being bad there are prob 2 more for it being good! and most the bad stories arent all true usually hyped up to make it seem worse!
