What are the side effects of Implanon?
I know that there is a laundry list of typical side effects, but I want to know which side effects you or someone you know may be experiencing. I have had problems with morning sickness and spotting in the past, and on site irritation. Anyone experience this on Implanon after the first 3-6 months?

From rxlist.com:
"Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
warmth, redness, swelling, or oozing where the implant was inserted;
sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
severe pain or cramping in your pelvic area (may be only on one side);
sudden headache, confusion, pain behind the eyes, problems with vision, speech, or balance; chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling; swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet;
jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); or symptoms of depression (sleep problems, weakness, mood changes).
Less serious side effects may include:
pain, numbness, or tingling where the implant was inserted;
minor bleeding or scarring where the implant was inserted;
breast pain; acne, freckles or darkening of facial skin;
menstrual cramps, changes in menstrual bleeding pattern;
increased hair growth, loss of scalp hair; weight gain;
nausea, mild stomach pain; vaginal itching or discharge;
headache, back pain, nervousness, dizziness;

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088."
