The implant/break from contraception

Hi all,

I've been on some form of hormonal contraception consistently now for 14 years (first the pill and now on my 3rd implant). Generally, i've got on well with it - had pretty much no periods at all, but recently i've been struggling with low mood and weight gain and wondering if the implant could be contributing.

My husband and I aren't ready for children just yet but we're thinking of trying in the next year or so. I'd always planned on coming off for quite a while beforehand to get back to a normal cycle anyway.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had a break from the implant and found it affected their mood?
