"i got pregnant at the age of 17 &amp; joined a program at the hospital where i delivered that received a grant to pay for the implanon which is the main reason i got it. now, i have a horrible needle phobia so i was pretty freaked out, but i only felt a pinch from the lidocane &amp; slight pressure from the device. got it 2 days after my son was born march &#039;09. i had a mild period 2 months later that lasted most of the month &amp; had light spotting on &amp; off for the next 2 months or so &amp; that was the end. the only side effect i experienced was a complete loss of sex drive, but it didn&#039;t effect the quality of my sex life &amp; i figured there are worse things. this year i had it removed 2 months late, &amp; a new one put in right after. i love it!!!"
