Birth Control
"I had Implanon inserted in November of 2009, when my son was 7 weeks old. It did not hurt at all, though I did have very significant bruising. I bruise very easily, so I wasn&#039;t very surprised by this. I have had virtually no side effects, which is why I gave it a 10 rating. HOWEVER, I have been breastfeeding the entire time it has been in, which causes me to not have any periods.
I would recommend Implanon to any breastfeeding mother. It&#039;s a great time to have it inserted, since you won&#039;t have to worry about any irregular bleeding. I&#039;m interested to see what will happen once I stop breastfeeding. If anyone here has done so, I&#039;d love to hear how things went as far was regularity of periods and such!"
