"i loved it. i have had it for 3 years now and about to get a new one. getting it inserted was actually pretty simple, other than a little soreness i was good to go. i only got my period every few months and it last about a week and a half but was extremely light.  i did not experience any of the side effects, i even lost a little weight, but i cannot confirm if it was from the implanon.  it is not even noticeable in my arm unless i tell someone to actually touch it, no scar either. it has been the least expensive and most effective birth control i have taken.  no more pill popping every day here."
