"i had the implanon inserted 6 weeks after the birth of my daughter. it didn&#039;t hurt at all and i hate needles! the first 3 months i got my period regularly then twice in the fourth month, since then i have not had a period! no side effects whatsoever and the best part is! you don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill. i plan on having my second baby when it is removed just before 3 years! definitely the best method available to women."
