Birth Control
"I had the Implanon put in March of 2009 and had it replaced in March of 2012 because I love it! Insertion was a breeze, and with the exception of the anesthetic, virtually painless. I have not had a full period since that first month with only (extremely) light spotting every few months. I have not had any noticable weight gain or mood swings due to the Implanon and even less outbreaks of acne since starting it. I would say the only downfall is also a perk, not getting my period. I have worried that I was pregnant, but it was just worry. Replacing it was just as effortless as the initial insertion. It can take anywhere from 3-30 min to remove it but it doesn&#039;t hurt. You will feel only a little bit of pressure. Mine only took 5 min to remove"
