"i had the implanon inserted on the 20/12/2010 the procedure wasn&#039;t too painful considering you&#039;re given local anesthetic on the area of your arm. i felt a slight sting (like a wasp/bee sting). i was on the first day of my period when it was inserted. the day after my period stopped however roughly a week later, it came on again and i had a period for 3 weeks.
once my period had stopped i didn&#039;t have another period until the 17/03/2011. i&#039;m still on and not too pleased. this is a known side effect within the first 6 months-1 year.  i&#039;ve had no other side effects. no weight gain, acne, illness, aches and pains etc. so other than the random bleeding, i&#039;m very happy with my implant."
