"it was painless to have implamented. i had severe bruising where the insert site was. no other side effects other than minor spotting and no more period. no pain in the insert area, but i do request blood pressure to be taken from the opposite arm. the blood pressure machine hurts the implant. no children after 3 years of unprotected sex with my significant other. also, i feel the implant when i graze my fingers over my under arm, which is how it should be. i will use it again."
