I just got the implanon removed due to low sex drive. I caution you about this method because it's more troublesome than going cold turkey with pills or other relatively more temporary methods. It was okay in the beginning, I had a sex drive that was mildly affected. But my sex drive before birth control was abundant and overwhelming sometimes so I didnt mind the change suddenly... Later, I couldn't get turned on no matter how my partner tried. He felt rejected and shameful for his own urges and I felt less feminine. I am soossso envious of women that experienced an increase in libido. I would have loved this form of HBC. If you're still considering it see how you react to progestin-only "mini pills." Or even depo. The depo/mirena/implanon's efficacy depends on the same hormones. I mention the mini pill because it's the most temporary. also, in my case I believe I'm one of the women that react badly to progestin. If you do some research, you'll learn that some females react to progesterone and its synthetic versions as a stress hormone. My experience with implanon started with a slight decrease in sex drive, and I'd like to say it progressed into no libido as well as chemically induced migraines.. Thankfully in the worst of my migraines (ER trip etc) I had a removal scheduled and my migraines ceased within 24 hours. Good luck I hope you find the best method.
