"i got implanon inserted a month and a day ago and i couldn&#039;t be more excited!  i was a little nervous as i&#039;ve never been on a progestin only birth control method (always been on combination hormones), but so far, so great!  the procedure was super easy.  i did have a bruise that lasted about 2-3 weeks and my period that i had when i got it implanted lasted about 2 weeks as well (which made me nervous i was going to be a constant bleeder on this!), but since then, nothing!  it looks like i will be one of the lucky few to not have any bleeding on this birth control method.  but, even if i do, the idea of not having to think about birth control for 3 years (i always forgot pills), is so exciting to me, i don&#039;t think i&#039;ll care!"
