birth control
"I had Implanon inserted in August of 2010. Other than a really nasty (but painless) bruise on my arm for about a week I haven't really had any problems. The only time it hurts is when my daughter pinches my arm right where the device is, but obviously that isn't because of the birth control. Almost every time after intercourse I would have a period, which for me isn't all that big of a deal, I had irregular periods before I was pregnant. BUT, they don't last but a couple of days and they are very light and cramp-free. Please don't let the negative reviews scare you out of this birth control. After being on the Depo shot for almost 5 years, I wouldn't give up my Implanon for anything."
