"i love implanon! i used to have nuvaring and it caused many yeast infections and bacterial vaginitis. since i&#039;ve switched to implanon i haven&#039;t had any issues whatsoever. i am terrified of needles and the only reason i didn&#039;t get implanon earlier was for the fear of the huge needle they would put in my arm. honestly i didn&#039;t feel a thing. the numbing medicine stung a little bit but i couldn&#039;t even tell when they put my implanon in. i had a cold rag over my eyes and i was still waiting for the pain when they told me it was all over. i haven&#039;t had any side effects nor weight gain. i love it!"
