a month ago i went to see the nurse about implanon, asked her questions and then thought about it. i has already had the implanon needle i was just worried about the side effects.
Now, today i asked my mom to call the nurse, and she refuses cos now she says she doesnt agree with it and wont support me on it when before she did. She also said that she threw away the implanon needle cos she THOUGHT i didnt want it anymore. i was soo annoyed.
She keeps saying over and over she doesnt want me to have it, and shes against it cos it stops your periods, and making a big deal out of the needle. I dont like needles but im prepared to look fear in the face and do it.
But she is stopping me. she wont support me and i need that most. i can call up but the only thing holding me back and not having her support..
She had a controlling dad when she was young, would that effect how she parents her kids?

Not sure how old you are, but apparently you are not over 18?
I would listen to your mother. Needles and no periods are not the normal state for a young female. Do you really know the long term side-effects or even the short-term effects? If you are not in a sexual relationship, this may all be totally unnecessary.
Please check into all forms of birth control before you throw your whole system out of whack.

We don't have the implants in the states, at least not like the one you have there. But, we do have other things that make you cease periods,and there is no harm in it. Studies and research show that there is no difference between them, and taking the pill continuously. Talk to Mom and remind her how you need her strength. It sounds like your relationship is good already and that talking to her about personal issues isn't a problem. There is nothing better than having a mother you can talk to. Tell her this is something that you want, that is helping you prevent an unwanted pregnancy. The pill is about the same, the only difference is, it is really hard to forget to take the implant and therefore, creating more problems. Ask mom why she changed her mind, what made her so afraid, ask her to go to the doctor with you so you both can talk to him/her about your worries.

DON'T DO THE NEEDLE!!! AHHHH!
Please! I got that shot in October, it is SUPPOSED to stop your periods, but I have been on mine for THREE weeks. Try having sex then!!! I've also been depressed like the devil, and my hair is breaking off, big time. I can't even run a brush through it without big parts of it breaking off! I'm just glad that in another month, the three months will be up and I am never having that sh!t put in my body again! I'll stick with the pill.
Another thing: I was very, very sick for two weeks. I had high fevers, all the way up to 105 and severe headaches, the doctors couldn't find a cause for it, but I'm convinced it's from that shot...just think about it before you do it. It's really screwed me up.
The side effects...ugh! They're serious...

Ask your mom why she is so afraid of Implanon now.
Find sites and reviews showing how safe it is to show her.
Or, if you are close to 18 y/o, use condoms and wait it out. When you are 18, go and get Implanon.

She is afraid for you. You should respect that. Tell her what you told us and that with her help, you can get over the fear of the needle. Ask for her HELP and she will come running.

If you're old enough to be having sex, you're old enough to take responsibility for it. Your mom doesn't need to support you. It's your body and you're the one having sex.
p.s. Although she WILL be the one supporting you should you get knocked up, so take care of yourself.

Your medical and sexual health is yours not your mother's. You need to make your own appointments and call to the nurse yourself. Legally the nurse can't talk to you mother about your issues anyhow (patient confidentiality laws). Learn to trust your health professional - your doctor and your nurse. Remember, it's not your mother's life - it's your life!
