"love it, love it, love it. i&#039;ve been on it for six months, and i adore it. totally protects against pregnancy, never have to worry or think about it and after the first month i stopped getting my period altogether (which is great, because i used to become anemic all the time). i experienced no negative side effects. in fact, the one negative i have about it is the actual rod ... it doesn&#039;t bother me, except when i forget about it and scratch over the top of it (because that&#039;s slightly uncomfortable). the insertion process made me sore for a couple of days, but what&#039;s two days compared to three years of not worrying about it? i can&#039;t recommend implanon highly enough."
