Birth Control
"After researching both Mirena and the Implanon (both with more negative than positive reviews) I decided to get the implant. I am usually not the type of person to do review%u2019s on anything but after having the Implanon in my arm for two weeks, I had to let others know that this implant has been nothing short of wonderful. I have been taking the pill since I was 17 and now at the age of 26, was ready for a change. I will make this short: upon insertion, they numb the skin THEN give plenty of lidocaine so do not feel the injection of the matchstick sized implant, implant hidden deep into the skin so not visible to the naked eye, arm was very sore for the first few days but to be expected, my period slowed to practically nothing the first time around, and now I am free and clear of worrying about a missed pill for the next three years! Those of you wanting to give long term birth control a try, try out Mirena. I hope Mirena works as well for you as it worked for me. Good luck."
