Hi,

I am going to family planning tonight to get my implant (implanton) removed from my arm, im so scared! I am watching the clock already!
Has anyone had their's removed and what was your experience? Did they get it out quickly?


Many thanks!

Mine came out very quickly and didn't really hurt. You can just see where it was. It was a few years back now though. I can't remember if they numb it, good luck x

I had a contraceptive implant years ago that was 6 or 7 little rods inserted into your arm. When I had them taken out, they had to do them one at a time, but I can honestly say, I didn't feel a thing. MIne were the first ones the doctor had ever taken out & hadn't actually had the training for it, but it was really easy.

I get mine taken out and a new one put in in October and I must say I'm not looking forward to it one bit. :panic:
Easy enough to get in but I've heard all the horror stories about scared tissue making it harder to get out.... ouch.
Have to let us know how it went. Hope all goes well and you can say it was pain free to put my mind at ease hehe.

That was when they first came out, so it's obviously got better since then. I could feel them under my skin like a little fan!

Hope you've got on OK!

Me too, my docs first too lol. Took her a long time, and I needed 3 locals, but it was stress free. Didn't actually hurt cos as soon as the local began to wear off she put in the next.
