some of my friends have had it and they suffered bleeding for a couple of months. other people have complained of scars. i know some people who have been fine though. So it just depends on whether it suits you

I had the 5 year one put in but had it removed after 4 years ( i will tell ya why in a bit!!) and in those 4 years i didnt have one period BUT my sex drive did decrease somewhat, and I have heard this from others too. I would have continued with the implant if it wasnt for the fact that they had actually only put the 3 year one in and for the last year and a half I wasnt covered by any sort of contraception!! Also when they remove it, it can be a bit tricky and hard to remove and I have now got a scar, very small but still a scar.

I had one put but was then diagnosed with endometriosis so had it removed to take other drugs. Whilst on it I had no bleeding what so ever. I did get occasional period pain type feelings but now beleive that was due to endometriosis. I didn't put on any weight or lose hair or anything really. Having it put in was a bit traumatic as a student did it so had to have each step explained! But you get a local anaesthetic (sp?) so you don't feel a thing. It's really quick. I've got a small scar left but it really is tiny. Hope this helps.

you are likely to get loads of messages on here. I would always suggest going to see you r GP, or family planning clinic, they will not speak to your parents if that is what you are afraid of, if you are over the age of consent I apologise. but every women is different and all kinds of contraception work for some and not for others, it can be a hit and miss system especially with implants. be safe, speak to a professional.

I've just come to the end of my three years with one and I wasn't suited to it, for the first six months I bled continuously, I ended up having micronor as well to stop the bleeding. and the last six months I bled every other week, but that's just me everybody is different and you might be fine on it,as for scaring you can hardly see it.
