"i got the implant in on june 8th of this year, and my experience so far has been fantastic! getting the implant was a little nerve racking, but it wasn&#039;t as bad as i thought. it hurt a little bit but nothing intolerable. it was quite sore for the next few days or week. i had a fairly large bruise, but it wasn&#039;t that bad. i got the implant put in on the last day of my period and i haven&#039;t gotten it since nor have i gotten any cramps. no spotting or anything. i couldn&#039;t tell you if i had gained weight from it, since not to long after i had surgery which caused me to gain some weight. not getting my period has worried me a bit, but i&#039;m taking it as a good thing and rolling with it. i would recommend this to anyone willing to give it a shot!"
