Next week I am due to have my contraceptive implant (implanon) taken out from my arm and a new one put in. Just wondering how sore this is going to be.

It shouldn't be overly painful as they use a local anaesthetic and the initial sting of the needle is the worst. You may have some mild discomfort in the area for a day or two afterwards as you will have a firm bandage around your arm for 48-72 hours. The person taking it out will be fully trained in insertion/extraction of the implanon and most of the ones I've seen come out do so easily.

Bringing in and removing could be performed only by physicians specially trained in this procedure, in a clinic apporopriately equipped. Procedures should be performed provided sterility was observed. During 1-2 days in the point of introducing capsules one might feel some discomfort or oedema. The place where the implant was introduced should be moistened by water during three days. A contraceptive effect begins immediately after introducing the capsules and durates up to their removal. Disorders of the periods are possible, but it does not mean decreasing of a contraceptive effect.
The first visit to a doctor should be made not later than a month after introducing. One should be immediately consulted in a clinic if one of the following problems arose:
- aches in the arm, pus or blood excretions in the place of introducing capsules,
- extremely severe hemorrhage from the vagina, absence of excretions similar
to those during periods during six weeks after the last period,
- a severe stomach pain or a pain in the small pelvis,
- extremely severe headaches,
- ictericness of the skin and scleras,
- shortness of breath or an acute pain in the breast.

I'm training to take them out next month!
It should be a simple proceedure. The worst sting will be the local anaesthetic injection, which is the same as having it put in. It should be quite numb after that.

Its the same as it going in. The anasthetic is the worst bit.
