Today, I had the contraceptive implant removed from my arm after having had it in for three years. I was one of the unlucky people whose body sticks to it. It took half an hour to cut and pull a tiny little stick out of my arm. FML

And now I'm suddenly scared of having mine out.

I can't tell if "sticks to it" was planned or not considering t was a stick

That happened to me too!!!! The doctors going 'look, this doesn't usually take so long' - eek!

Cheer up, mine took an hour. 30 minutes of digging around in my arm to try and find it, then 30 minutes to cut/pull it out.

The hardest part with implanon is grabbing it to remove it after the incision. Other than that it's really not that big of a deal OP. I just had my second 3-year implant put in recently, no complaints here! But good luck anyway!

I am now terrified that will happen to me when mine gets replaced! :( but they inject you with an anesthetic first (or at least they did with me) so the pain would probably just be the aching afterwards, I'm guessing. Either way, FYL!
