it doesnt hurt no although i got a bruise day after
which was a bit ouchy
I have found from people i know experiences with the implant vary greatly, some love it and dont have a period for months at a time whereas others bleed on and off and some even have it taken out cos they dont like it
Personally i have bled on and off whilst having it (typical) but not to the point i have considered having it taken out, simply because i dont fancy the coil and dont trust myself to remember to take the pill
so guess i have just put up with some side effects, saying that i was told off gp that if it made periods irregular i could be prescribed something to regulate them while having implant just never bothered going back
Overall i would recomend because five mins in docs surgery and your covered for 3 years, but just be aware you might get side effects you may not like
