Birth Control
"I got nexplanon on Nov 11,2014 mostly because of my periods. Before the implants my periods would last 8 days cause me to have severe cramps, migraine, painful breast, and low appetite. I had it implanted the last day of my period the insertion process was about 15min long. My doc numbed the spot opened it a bit stuck the stick in and bandage. I cleaned the spot put a&amp;d on the spot, within a week or 2 no spot no itching. Keep it clean. Immediately my periods were much lighter. After 2mths of regular periods I spotted until August 2015 (8mths) The spotting was very light. I had no other side affects. Since mid August 2015 (11mth)I have not had a period or spotting. I plan on keeping the implant and replacing it after the 3rd year"
