"i had depo provera for 3 years which i did love and never had a period. after awhile i started to lose my sex drive. my friend recommended implanon, so i decided to try it out. the numbing shot was the worst part and it was only a cold sensation. while inserting the device the doctor commented &quot;your skin is tight, you may feel pressure.&quot; i did not feel a thing!! the next day it was a little tender but not bad, did have some itching but that is normal for anything healing, had small bruise few days, very light bleeding for about a week, still have no period, and increased sex drive. there is now a small scar but it is nothing noticeable. i will definitely be getting another reinserted once this ones 3 years is up. i have had it since oct &#039;12."
