Implanon is a contraceptive implant, that is a matchstick device that is inserted in your arm. It works in the same way the contraceptive Pill or injection would do - to protect you from pregnancy.I had this in my arm as the Injection didn't suit me as it gave me mood swings, and with the pill i kept forgetting to take them all the time.
Implanon works by releasing female-type hormone etonorgestrol into your bloodstream, and prevents your ovaries from producing eggs.The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and you will feel little pain. Then it lasts you for 3 years till you have to have it changed again. You can barely feel it under your skin, and will soon forget about it.
Plus it is over 99% effective unlike other contraceptive methods. I would recommend it, as you have no hassle or worries. You can just get on with life.

The bit I don't fancy about that is when it has to be "cut" out! ughhhhh!!
Ewwww...they put it IN your arm!!! That's freaking me out!
I had a friend who had used something like this.
I personally have never been a fan of this form of contraceptive... each to their own - hence the various options!
Informative post though. I'm sure there are readers who will be looking into this further.
It's pretty scary ...oh well for now I don't need to worry about this.
