Birth control implant in arm( implanon)

Madelynn
I have a question for girls who are on the birth control implant in the arm of who were on it. I'm very interested in it. I was on the combination pill for almost 4 years when I got a blood clot in my shoulder. Most of my doctors said it was sports related. They think it was caused from constant swinging of my arm b/c I'm a hitter on a Vball team. The doctors said the bc could of helped make the blood clot. So they told me my options are depo shot or the implant. I don't want the depo! It would mean the world if you answered my questions and give me more info. I just want to know what I'm getting in too! :)
1. The girls that are on it would you recommend it?
2. How was your period for the first few months?
3. Did you get any side effects? 
4. How was your arm for a couple of days? 
5. Did you get acne or lose hair?
