Birth Control
"I got my Implanon on 4/21/11.  The only pain I felt during insertion was the numbing shot, but that only lasted for maybe 20 seconds or less.  After that, absolutely no pain during the rest of the insertion.  Now looking at the insertion site, there is a bruise, but it&#039;s not terrible, and the insertion site looks no bigger than the width of a nickel!  My arm was numb for the rest of that day, and I have had practically no pain ever since.  It&#039;s a little tender to the touch, but nothing to complain about.  I haven&#039;t had to take any pain medication for it.  I got the Implanon inserted towards the end of my period. My period stopped and have had no bleeding as of yet. It is pretty soon after the fact, but I am very happy with my decision!"
