"i got the implant inserted at the end of april last year. i found the insertion a bit painful, but it was probably because i was stressing about it! (so try and stay calm - and definitely look away if you don&#039;t like needles). overall i like the implant and how hassle free it is. i have had some problems with on/off bleeding though, so i use norethisterone sometimes to settle it down however i could bleed again at any time and i have no idea when that might be, which is a bit annoying. my skin is also constantly breaking out with hormonal spots, which is even worse when i&#039;m taking norethisterone. apart from that, no problems :)"
