It'd better be worth it...

I had the contraceptive implant put in my arm on Friday. I suffer very badly with my periods, and this seems to be the best way of helping. I should have 3 years of less trouble. This is all well and good, but it's not without its drawbacks. It didn't hurt having it put, in, they give you a local anaesthetic, it just feels a bit weird. Then, when this wears off, you feel a bit bruised. I don't know about anyone else, but my arm is black around th e implant. It's so bruised, and hurts. But, if it helps, I can live with a few days of discomfort. I'm sorry to moan, but I think anyone thinking about it should know. Don't let it put you off, I'm certain it's going to be worth it, just be prepared...
