"i&#039;ve had the implanon for nearly a year now and i love it so much. if i could be appointed the official ambassador of this thing, i would!

the insertion was quick, simple and painless. i had a small bruise which was easily covered and went away quickly. i have a tiny scar the size of a pen tip now.

during the first 3-4 months, my period was a bit erratic. it would last about 6-7 days and it would sometimes come once a month, sometimes more or less. it was much lighter than my natural periods. i took naproxen which would stop the bleeding most of the time. however after about six months my period has basically stopped. occasionally i have an hour or so of spotting, and rarely i might have a few days in a row. one liner a day is always enough for the bleeding now. i have no period pain for the first time in my life.

i haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain, and my acne is no worse than when i was on the pill.

you can&#039;t beat the ease of this thing. in australia, it cost about $50 (including insertion by a doctor) for three years protection. i often go weeks without thinking about contraception. i don&#039;t even have to worry about pregnancy, knowing this is the most effective contraception available.

i nearly didn&#039;t get my implanon because of what i read online. but i&#039;m so glad i did. remember that for each negative review, there are probably many many people who are happy with the implanon but they just forgot to write a review because they are so busy out enjoying life!"
