Should I come off nexplanon and ask dh to get snip?

I have been on nexplanon for 9 years, with a gap to conceive ds2 who is 6. Always been ok with it, had random spotting which I can live with. However lately I've noticed that I get horrible headaches, they last a day or so, won't shift with painkillers and then the next day the spotting starts....

I've scared myself reading about headaches as a side effect and some links with blindness!

I feel that our family is complete now, I have been on hormonal contraceptives for over half my life now (am 36) and I would like dh to get snip. He has always kind of shrugged it off in a jokey way but I think I do want to have a serious convo about it. Either that or use condoms which he won't like.

So what type of waiting times are we looking at for snip?

Am also wondering f how easily it would be to get appt to remove implant atm.
