Hi there! I don't have babies but I do have the Jadelle implant. Got it at the end of March 2012 after being on Noriday for around 6 months, though I was warned many get the implant removed because of side effects. The insertion was fine and didn't hurt, but for about a week after my arm was very bruised and was very painful. But as this healed, the scar is tiny and the rods pretty much can't be seen.
No bleeding at all really for me, but I have noticed a change in my mood. I wouldn't say it's a depressed state, but very touchy, moody, angry at times and feeling unhappy and unmotivated. Am sure I have put on weight also.
Not 100% sure if it is the implant, but I'm fairy certain it is so I'm getting it taken out next week and will probably be put back on Noriday! I can't take the combined pill, and I'm not sure what my other options are...
Jadelle has been effective with preventing pregnancy, and my nurse told me that there is pretty much no chance that you'd ever get pregnant with the implant, but the side effects outweigh the benefits for me.
