"I had Implanon inserted in April of 2011 after previously taking Levora birth control. The Levora made me irritable, overly emotional, snippy and even made me crave junk food. I felt like I was PMSing non-stop. After some thorough research, I quit the Levora and decided to have the Implanon inserted. The most painful part was the Lidocaine shot while the actual insertion was pain free. I had some bruising and tenderness for about a week after but that was about it. I started my period the day after insertion, but it only lasted for three days. I&#039;ve had no moodiness, cravings or weight gain since having the Implanon inserted. For me, this is the best birth control possible."
