"i love implanon. i went to my doctor to complain about my birth control pills (different kinds for 6 years) that caused mood swings, breakouts, etc.... she suggested implanon and in 20 mins i walked out with it! it does not hurt. it looks intimidating but they numb your arm and afterwards it feels like a normal bruise. i have had it for 6 months now. i have no period and no side effects! no mood swings no breakthrough bleeding no breakouts it&#039;s amazing."
