"i got the implanon about 3 months ago. the initial implant part was uncomfortable but the numbing stuff helped a lot! afterwards it was pretty bruised and very sore. its all healed now, and has left a tiny circular scar (like a chicken pox scar). the first couple of weeks i had insane amount of energy! it was amazing. i am  22 5&#039;4 and 115lbs so i&#039;m not overweight or unhealthy (which in my personal opinion is why i have such great side effects). i love this birth control! the only negative thing i have to say is when my body was adjusting to it i was very irritable and moody! i would cry if i saw a stupid spca commercial. but now 3 months later. i feel amazing! normal periods and normal mood! try it!"
