Getting The Implant

Welcome to my blog,

I got the implant about a month ago and thought I'd write a blog about it.

What the NHS says: 

The contraceptive implant is a small flexible tube about 40mm long that's inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It is inserted by a trained professional and lasts for 3 years. The implant stops the release of an egg from the ovary by slowly releasing progestogen into your body. Progestogen also thickens the cervical mucus and thins the womb lining. This makes it harder for sperm to move through your cervix, and less likely for your womb to accept a fertilised egg.

The area was numbed but it still hurt. I could only feel a burning sensation and a pushing sensation as the doctor was putting it in. I'd say it hurt 6/10 so it wasn't extremely painful but you could still feel it.

It only hurt for 2-3ish days and has not hurt since I can feel it every now and again and the doctor did show me where it was in my arm so I could feel it and show the person who will take it out where it is.

I am typically not someone that likes going round showing everybody where it is and trying to make everyone touch it haha.

If you're thinking of getting it because you are on the pill and forget to take it sometimes (like me) I'd say definitely give this a go if you don't like it, it is easily removed.

The only side affects I've had is feeling a little sick when I first got it done and being on my period I don't have stomach cramps or anything so it's okay but a girl knows what it's like to be on your period. 

So that bits not great but everyone is different and if you got it you might not have the same side effects you might get totally different ones or you may get none at all.

Thanks for reading please leave a comment.
