"i have had implanon since may 2011. i love it. i had very very light bleeding off and on for a few months afterward but none now, the site where it&#039;s at will throb every once in a while, but not bad just annoying. i have actually lost weight, i am a bit more emotional, but i&#039;ve always cried about everything, i haven&#039;t had an increase in headaches or anything, and my sex drive is as good as it&#039;s always been. i&#039;ve never used birth control before implanon, but i&#039;m glad i made this choice. insertion was easy. i didn&#039;t feel a thing. she asked if i was numb and i said i don&#039;t know she made a small incision and asked if i felt it and i didn&#039;t. she wrapped a bandage around the site afterward to keep pressure on it, so my bruising was minimal."
