"after i had my son i decided to try implanon. it took no time to put in and was relatively painless. it did hurt for a couple days after but nothing like the depo shot. i have had no side effects. i have actually lost weight. and the best thing is i don&#039;t have to remember to take it everyday! i have had maybe 2 periods which was more like spotting in the last year that i have had it. it&#039;s great!"
