"i tried the implanon after having an unexpected pregnancy on the nuvaring. i had a little anxiety about the insertion but it really was quick and pretty painless. i have had it over a year now and for a longtime i wast having any periods at all. now i have them few and far between, very lightly. i have no pain in the arm with only a tiny little scar. it does creep me out a little that you can see it through my skin, but honestly it is the best birth control i&#039;ve ever been on and wouldn&#039;t use anything else."
