Every woman is different and every type of contraception is different . It is impossible to predict how you would get on with the implant, or indeed any other type of contraception. Read up on each type, weigh up the pros and cons, and then try one . Here is the information on the implant : sexwise.fpa.org.uk/contrace...

It's different for everyone.

I got the hormonal one which lasts for 3 years at 17, I only had it in for two years as I've noticed it wasn't the right contraception for me - my sex drive had completely gone, 20kg weight gain, overall irritated mood and I just felt like a complete different person. I've been off of it for 5 days and got the non hormonal IUD and feel MUCH better! I feel more human, so to speak.

But then again, it's different for everyone.

I hope you find the right contraceptive for you, stay safe!
