"i decided to get the implanon a couple months back because, as a college student, i&#039;m very forgetful of little things such as a little pill daily or having to go get a shot every three months, which i hated. the procedure was speedy and non-painful. i received quite the bruise and sore spot but nothing that was unbearable, i am now left with a little scar. so far, i haven&#039;t had a single period but i&#039;ve always been irregular. no major mood swings or weight gain. i&#039;ve actually lost 15 pounds since. the only problem i&#039;ve encountered so far is being paranoid that someone, or myself, will grab it, or whatever, the wrong way and it&#039;ll hurt, but haven&#039;t had that either. i definitely recommend the implanon!"
