"personally, i love this birth control method and i even have recommended implanon to several of my friends. insertion didn&#039;t hurt much, although, i do have a very high pain tolerance. the days following insertion were the worst, pain-wise, but it wasn&#039;t unbearable. i did experience nausea and dizziness in the first couple weeks as my body adjusted to the hormones. i&#039;ve actually lost weight, and i haven&#039;t had a period or even a single pimple since insertion. the only serious side effects were emotional lability (probably the most concerning), rapid mood swings and some slight depression but honestly? worth it. it&#039;s a hassle-free birth control method and i absolutely love the peace of mind it gives me."
