They numb your arm and stick a thick needle and shoot it into your arm.

I had it and hated it. I had it in January 2012 and bled from the time I got it till March. and I don't mean spotting. It made me extremely anemic and I lost tons of weight. I looked unhealthy and sick. After I finally stopped bleeding in March I didn't bleed again ever till August then I bled till October. I finally forced my Obgyn to take it out because I couldn't eat and I was so sick from loosing blood.constantly. I wouldn't recommended it but some people do good.with it I'm just one of those people I guess that didnt.
