I am suppose to be getting the implant soon, but i'm worried about its side effects?

my doctor said to me that it only makes you (almostly completely) infertile for three years. I am wondering though, if something will go wrong and i will be infertile for the rest of my life? thats something i can ask her when i go for it anyway....

but i'm not entirely convinced that it doesn't give you the side effect of depression? I was on the pill and ended up getting really bad side effects where i was just miserable 24/7 and taking it out on the people i love most.
Before i went on the pill though, my doctor assured me that this wouldn't happen.
she says it's unlikely to happen with the implant, but because of past experiance i can't easily believe this.

is there anyone who has the implant and could tell me abit about it? Does it make you moody?

I can tell you from personal experience that I can not take any birth control but especially progesterone based birth controls make me feel like I have the worst case of the flu in the history of the world. Supposedly this is linked to my diagnosis of major depression.

Well I really can't see how on earth an implant could make you infertile because its just slowly releasing progesterone for three years. And your body makes that naturally anyway. Its just the same as taking the progesterone only pill for three years.

As far as mental health problems are concerned, it may make them worse, but the advantage of the implant over the injection is you can have them take it out if you want.
