"i had implanon inserted in my arm 2 and a half years ago. its been a great experience and i&#039;ve been very happy with the method. the spot on my arm was sore for about a week after and i have a very small (nick) of a scar. it obviously hurts if some one grabs my arm roughly but besides that it doesn&#039;t cause me any problems. it&#039;s getting time to get it removed and replaced, which i plan to do. i hardly ever got my period, maybe once or twice a year and it only last a few days. very happy!"
