birth control
"I was very nervous about trying Implanon after reading all the negative reviews, but went ahead with it anyway.  The procedure was quick and practically painless.  The spot was tender for a few days and I did have an ugly bruise and now a tiny scar, but nothing that is too terrible.
I started Implanon while I was on my period, which lasted for about 21/2 weeks, give or take.  But the bleeding was minimal and it wasn't too bad.  Then after that period ended, nothing.  I haven't had a period since I had the device inserted in December of 09.  I haven't noticed any weight gain or unusual moodiness. This has been the best birth control I've ever been on.  My advice, give it a chance.  Don't let the negative reviews scare you away!"
