Birth Control
"I have been using Nexplanon for four years deciding to get it before enlisting in the USAF, and it hasn&#039;t caused any problems or adverse side effects. They numb the area where they insert the implant initially, and when it&#039;s time to replace it. You feel pressure, but in my experience no pain. While using this implant I have had very infrequent periods. Or some heavy ones that lasted for only two, versus a week without the implant. I haven&#039;t gained any weight, though workout regularly so haven&#039;t noticed any effects. Acne hasn&#039;t been an issue. I have been happy so far with this implant, and haven&#039;t needed to look into any other forms of birth control, and would recommend this to a friend or anyone thinking about getting it."
