"i have an issue with needles, so working up the nerve to get this took me a while. aside from the initial burn of the numbing medicine i felt nothing. it was actually really cool to watch. the implant site was sore, like a really nasty bruise, for a week or so and it left a tiny little wound (like a large needle stick). since then, i&#039;ve hardly noticed it.
historically my periods have been down right debilitating, for a week i was a vicious monster too weak to walk up two flights of stairs. since implanon i have had no periods, no pms, no pain, and most importantly, no worries about missing a pill and winding up with an unwanted pregnancy."
