Birth Control
"I got the nexplanon back in August 2015. The insertion didn&#039;t hurt at all but it bruised really badly. The bruising went away after a few days and now the only way I know it&#039;s there is I can feel it in my arm. I really haven&#039;t noticed any side effects I get breakouts but I got those before I got the nexplanon so I don&#039;t think it&#039;s causing them and I haven&#039;t gained any weight. I get a very light period for 5-7 days about every 2-3 months or so and I do get cramping my first day but nothing a few aleve doesn&#039;t fix. Overall I&#039;m happy with it so far."
