So, upside of implanon - I didn't get pregnant while I was on it.
Downside - my periods were irregular as hell, and are still shady at best over 2 years later

I'm thinking about getting one, my OBGYN said it's common for cycles to be unregular for the first 6 months or so.

It can take a while for your body to regulate while your on it. It's different for everyone though.

I had implanon after my son was born and kept it in for about 8 months, then got it taken out. I had 5-6 week long periods, massive migraines, I gained 25 lbs....all round I hated it and will never regret getting it taken out.

I got mine in October 12th of last year, I just now finally stopped bleeding/spotting. Up until about 2 weeks ago I bled/spotted everyday. I still bleed most the time DH and I have sex but it's becoming less and less. It's kind of annoying but I have no other choice since I don't have insurance and we don't want another baby yet.
Oh and i gained like 30 pounds after it got put in.
Other then those two things I'm starting to like it.
