Ooh err how do they do that then?? Is it injected or do they actually have to cut your arm to put it in?? You're brave! lol I couldn't do that! I'm too much of a wimp! lol

What they do is inject anastephtic(sp the stuff that numbs thing lol) Then they wait for that to kick in. Then they get another needle and insert the implant through a tube with that(it's the same way they do an epi). So no cutting involved.

Apart from when you get it out (it lasts 3 years) then they numb your arm again make a small slit a push it out. The nurse decribed as trying to get a splinter out

Just a couple of questions.
Can you see its outline through the skin or just feel it?

Keely kat, have you had any problems being on it?

I can see and feel mine through the skin but it doesn't bother me at all. I'm more worried about getting it out lol. The thought of it completely turns me.
