"i was very nervous after hearing all the horror stories but decided to try it anyway. the procedure takes about 5-10 minutes it&#039;s very quick. the most uncomfortable part is the numbing medication because it burns but it&#039;s quick. they use an introducer to place the implanon under your skin and it&#039;s over. i had a bruise in the area and i also experienced slight nausea and dizziness after insertion which ended in a headache but the next day i was fine. my arm was sore for a bit after but it&#039;s manageable. since insertion on june 19th of this year i&#039;ve had no period or spotting of any kind but keep in mind every woman&#039;s body is different."
