"i had implanon inserted in november of 2009, when my son was 7 weeks old. it did not hurt at all, though i did have very significant bruising. i bruise very easily, so i wasn&#039;t very surprised by this. i have had virtually no side effects, which is why i gave it a 10 rating. however, i have been breastfeeding the entire time it has been in, which causes me to not have any periods.
i would recommend implanon to any breastfeeding mother. it&#039;s a great time to have it inserted, since you won&#039;t have to worry about any irregular bleeding. i&#039;m interested to see what will happen once i stop breastfeeding. if anyone here has done so, i&#039;d love to hear how things went as far was regularity of periods and such!"
