"implanted june 2013. experienced no pain inserting. my arm was numb for a few days from lidoderm. i spotted for about a month and a half, which i expected. it&#039;s been 8 months now, and i seriously only bleed once every few months. i&#039;m surprised to see so many reviews of non stop bleeding. i&#039;ve had nothing like that. 
my only side effects i notice are acne and night sweats. no mood swings or emotional thoughts.
love this birth control!"
