Birth Control
"I started Nexplanon in early January 2015. I love it. The insertion did not hurt but I was bruised for a while and there is a small scar. I found it disconcerting that I could feel the implant in my arm when touching the muscle but after a few weeks I stopped noticing is was there at all, like with contacts or a wedding ring. I was concerned that the implant would not stand up to my active lifestyle, I practice jujitsu  and that involves a lot of upper arm gripping, but there have been no complications or issues there. I had a period like normal after starting Nexplanon and have had lighter and lighter bleeding every month since then. I haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain or mood swings like I did with daily pills or the depo shot."
