Those of you ladies who have had the 3year implant of contraception please help me out.

1. Does it hurt when they insert it?
2. Does it hurt when its being remove?
3. How can you rate the pain out of 10?
4. What are the side effects?

I want to insert it but I am so scared.

I had horrible problems with the Implanon arm implant. They numb you up so it doesn't hurt much, and is just a little sore afterwards. However, my menstrual bleeding was erratic, and I gained 28 pounds in 7 months WHILE exercising 3 X a week and dieting (wedding preparation). My sister also had major issues with the implanon,  but didn't have the extreme weight gain.

I guess like ^^ say sides effects is different on everyone,i waz soo scare when i got it inserted and when they removed it,but it waznt that painful they put this liquid to numb the part  were is inserted it feels like a pinch,i think  it heal pretty fast in 3 days and it doesnt botger u at all.i heard the only time when u can get complications is when remover but minor..i didt get no complications the dr. That removed it waz so efficien and profeccional,we started this conversation and when i least espectedit waz out lol,u do have a tiny scar,witcht acctually waz 2 the one were they inserted and were it waz removed but it just look like a pimple scar really small

They give you a numbing needle first so you don't feel it get inserted or removed. It can feel a bit strange or uncomfy for a few days while the scar hurts but nothing major. I've had 4. You do end up with a small scar on inside of your arm. Side effects are different for everyone. I have had none for all four. Some people get moody, have longer periods, have no periods, or get headaches. Hope this helps.

My sister had it, she said there was not really any pain. They numb your arm to remove it and i don't think there is many side effects have you had a look at the nhs website?
