Experience

I didn’t realize the side affects were related to the contraception until after I came off it. It was crazy how much it affected my moods and how tender it had made my breasts. I had the implant replaced once and the second one seemed to give me far more side affects.

Experience after taking

It took what felt like a really long time to get my cycle back to being regular but once it was, it was like clockwork. It was all over the place when I had the implant. About 7 months after coming off i started trying to conceive. It took 6 months to get pregnant, I’ve no idea if this was related.

Had a similar experience?
