"recently i had replaced my implanon with the second. while insertion i got an infection. on the first implanon i had no problems whatsoever. it did not hurt and never had any side effects. i have had more problems then ever with this second one. i have had two infections since december 2012. i am on my second antibiotic now. as much as i hate to think about it, if this does not clear up after this cycle i will be forced to remove it. despite the infections i love the implanon, the convenience and my insurance took care of everything!"
