"the experience of getting the implant in was near painless, if you look away all you&#039;ll feel is the numbing shot, but i watched and it was a simple process a bit of blood a bandage and they send you off. for the first 2 weeks i was spotting from the change of birth control, but nothing too terrible. (have to wait 2 weeks for effectiveness). it&#039;s been 3 months now and no complaints, i did break out a lot more then from being on the pill, but not to far off from what i had before pills. slight weight gain, but went away easily. haven&#039;t spotted or had a period since, knock on wood. it is simple, easy, effective and you can&#039;t see it, after the bruise goes away, a week and a half or so. i highly recommend it, only $50 copay, that is paid for all doctors appointments."
