"i am so happy that i got this! i was nervous and first and had a list of questions for my doctor. they numbed my arm and it burned for maybe 5 seconds. insertion of the actual implanon was completely painless. i never got the bruise that the doctor warned me about and that i have read is normal. no pain other than the first couple days and no spotting. i had it put in the week after my period and i haven&#039;t had one since. no cramping or pms either! i had a couple of headaches for the first day or so. i would highly recommend it to anyone who can&#039;t remember to take a pill everyday!"
