Yes: Implanon is an extremely effective form of birth control- possibly more so and definitely equivalent to a tubal ligation or vasectomy. The side effects most commonly are irreg bleeding or spotting, acne is possible and then horone symptoms such as moods swings, headache, nausea and rarely wt gain ( although low risk for wt gain). Tends to be very safe and if not tolerated- easy to remove.
