Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Nexplanon since August 2, 2012. I got it inserted the first day of my period. The insertion was easy and not as painful as I thought. I didn&#039;t bruise or anything just swelled up. I had my normal period after getting it inserted then was period free for about 2 months.  Then I spotted for about 2 1/2 months. It would be random. Sometimes it would be all day spotting or just a few hours. But since then I haven&#039;t had anything really just maybe one day a month of spotting. I did have some acne problems in the beginning but that cleared up quickly. As for cramps, that&#039;s the main reason I was interested in this because I&#039;m one of the ones that has horrible cramps and this took it all away. Yet, everyone is different!"
