implant birth control

Im thinking about getting this after my son is born. So any or you ladies have it? Do you like it? Did it hurt getting put in?

I had it for three years and Ioved it had ZERO problems or side effects. I did bleed from November when I got it to about March but it wasn't absolutely heavy max losing too much blood bleeding. then it stopped and I'd get like one day of light spotting every five months or so. anyway it's the best birth control I've had yet very effective and no side effects.

I had implanon. My left arm was the first and after a month it was rubbing against something so they switched it to my right. I bled for 8-9 months straight heavy bleeding and the doctor was forced to remove it because i was loosing way too much blood to the point where my body was bruising and shutting down. I've heard they've discontinued implanon and have switched brands or something. Maybe check into it. But i would personally never go with implanon again.

I had the implanon, its implanted in your arm, it stays in for 3 years.. they numb your arm so u dont feel them putting it in, it is sore for a couple days afterwards.. but i had no problems with it, and after a couple months id only get my period every other month
