I'm trans and react really badly to progesterone. The Mirena contributed significantly to my depression, but I appear to be hyper-sensitive to the damn stuff. I also found that when I *did* have periods they were about eleven billionty times more unpleasant (like, not-able-to-call-for-help levels of pain), but I have endometriosis so that's probably less relevant to you!
Without knowing more about how you react to progestins, I'd be wary, honestly. If you know from past experience that they're not a problem for you, then GO FOR IT.
(I will also say that when I had my Mirena out early, it took about 3 days for me to get back to normal mood-wise. That's much better than typical for Implanon!)
