Birth Control
"I have been very happy with my Implanon so far. I have had it for about 3 1/2 months. I didn&#039;t feel any pain when it was inserted; only a slight sting when they numbed my arm. I did have a pretty big bruise for about a week, and now I have a very small scar. As far as side effects, I haven&#039;t had any noticeable side effects. My biggest complaint is that I have had longer than normal periods. My first period after Implanon was right on schedule and lasted it&#039;s normal duration. My following cycles have lasted about twice as long as they should. However, I don&#039;t have any spotting in between periods; my period is just extra long. I feel like that is a fair trade off though for not having to worry about birth control at all for 3 years."
