An Honest Contraceptive Implant Chat

For the last six years I've been protected from pregnancy by using a contraceptive implant and wanted to share with you today my experiences and what actually happens when going for the implant option. All the opinions are my own and I'm not trained in health in any way, I just wanted to share my honest opinion.

Fitting the implant was very easy and pain free, I was able to get it fitted at my local doctors surgery and after an appointment talking to my doctor about my opinions we both decided the implant was a good choice. The nurse fitted it with a simple procedure of injecting the skin with a local anesthetic to numb the area, then a small cut is made before the implant is placed into the arm and then the area is closed using a plaster and a bandage.

The area felt very sore for a while and there was some bruising but it wasn't to painful, after around four days my arm was healed nicely and I was able to take the plaster off. The bandage comes off after 24 hours and after it comes off you are able to shower and get the area wet. The bruising lasted around a week and then disappeared.
