"i have been on implanon for just over 6 months. as far as the insertion goes, very minimal pain. the slight bruising disappeared in a few days. i have a minute scar, but i always say i would take the scar over a child any day.  because i am one of those individuals who worries like crazy, i took a pregnancy test monthly while on the pill. being on implanon is such a relief. on the negative side, i was blessed with a fairly clear complexion before implanon. however, after implanon i have had a great increase in acne. i have also had my period every day for the last 3 months straight. most days heavy enough for a tampon. i love the security of implanon, however the bleeding has become irritating. i would suggest looking at intrauterine devices as well."
