The contraceptive injection

Well, as some of you may know due to previous posts I am on the pill. The only prob with this is that I'm always forgetting to take them!
I went down to the FP centre this morinin and asked if they had any other suitable options they suggested the injection.
The only problem with this is I am TERRIFIED of needles and injections.
Is anybody else using this method of contraception and what are their experiences of it? Is it a big needle? Does it hurt?
I also aked them about an implant but they weren't too keen on giving me this as apparently it's better for older people. Is any body else using the implant? If so what are their thoughts and experiences about it?
Thanks everybody!

As for implants, I talked this over with my doctor as well and he does not recommend them as the capsules can migrate and cause serious muscular problems, among other things.
