Week 1

Today, (yesterday technically) marks one week with Implanon.

The spot where the insertion was done is healing nicely. Only a small bruise, see?

There's a small scab and a small bruise. (The other brown dot above the bruise is a freckle!)

 

I read ALOT on the internet about the Implanon before I got it. It was mostly negative reviews. I read all about the HORRIBLE bruising and INCESSANT itching. I didn't have much of any of that. You can see my small bruise and the scab doesn't itch. 

My period ended on the day it should have.  I read all about women who's period never ended.  They had it for months!!! Who needs birth control when you are constantly bleeding? Gross!!! I'm hoping that the period just magically disappears, along with my acne.  Although with stress acne, I'm not so sure hormones will do a thing.

I can feel it through the skin, which is kinda cool.  I've been going around to all my employees and family telling them to feel it. It still feels a little awkward but it may just be because of the bruising.

A week in and I give Implanon two thumbs up.  We shall see what the future holds!!!
