Etonogestrel
birth control
"I have been very happy with my Implanon so far. I have had it for about 3 1/2 months. I didn't feel any pain when it was inserted; only a slight sting when they numbed my arm. I did have a pretty big bruise for about a week, and now I have a very small scar. As far as side effects, I haven't had any noticeable side effects. My biggest complaint is that I have had longer than normal periods. My first period after Implanon was right on schedule and lasted it's normal duration. My following cycles have lasted about twice as long as they should. However, I don't have any spotting in between periods; my period is just extra long. I feel like that is a fair trade off though for not having to worry about birth control at all for 3 years."
