Re: [ozmidwifery] Implanon Implant

[Trish David]

Yes, my sister had terrible mood swings and got really angry at her nearly three year old son and her 20 month old daughter. She was depressed and upset all the time, and has been much better since it was removed. She now has one of the new generation IUDs and is feeling much more secure and happy. Though two under three is a handful. Trish

Has anyone come across clients with negative side effects from the use of the Implanon Implant? In one of my job sites we use Implanon on most of our ward population following birth, it is seen as a wonder contraceptive.  In the other job site the local GP has just informed me that quite a few of his patients have requested the removal of the implant.   Un-desirable effects such as weight gain, mood swings etc are quoted.&NBS;

What are your opinions/experiences of Implanon? Both the GP and I are interested  in your opinions.
