Implanon? Is it effective?

How effective is implanon? I've read that it's 99% effective when preventing pregnancy, blah blah. But i want to hear from some people who've actually used it. How effective is it when it comes to unprotected sex?

Also has anyone experienced the side effects? Like weight gain, weird menstrual cycle changes, etc.?

    At the beginning of using Implanon, for the first 3 months, I had irregular light periods that prevented me from having sex for most of the 3 months. I went to the doctors and started using Microgynon 30 pills. My cycle returned to normal after a month. I have had no pregnancy scares. It works great.
