"i was real scared about getting implanon after reading about it. the process about 15 mins. they numb your arm and it does burn going in for about a min. then they use another needle to insert. i felt the pressure of them putting it in. i turned my head the whole time so i didn&#039;t see anything. afterwards i had to sit for a couple of minutes to make sure i wouldn&#039;t have an allergic reaction. a couple of days later, the small hole in my arm started to itch really bad because it was healing. the first month nothing happened. i had it inserted while on my period. the second month i was on period for a whole month but it wasn&#039;t a regular period. it wasn&#039;t as heavy but it was darker than usual. i called my doctor and she said that was normal. i recommend implanon."
