Day 1 (22/01/2013)

Today I had my Implanon removed and replaced with the new contraceptive implant Nexplanon. The doctor numbed my arm before doing the procedure. The removal/insertion of the implant did not hurt, you can just feel a tugging sensation but the anesthetic did hurt a little (a sharp, stinging pain). Once this had been done, she put a large plaster/band aid over the incision areas (you do not get stitches) and then wrapped the area up in a bandage.
    Nothing has happened today in regards of side effects or bleeding, I have just been getting pain in the insertion site. I cannot lift things or use that arm at all but I guess this is normal as it has just been done.
