"implanon was my first form of birth control ever used. it has been very effect for me over the past 3 years. i am due to have it removed soon and plan on having another inserted. the process to have it put in was pretty easy. hopefully removal is easy as well.  i liked that it was in my arm. it did change my cycle. i didn&#039;t have a period for the first 6 months i was on it, and then it returned to normal after."
