Birth Control
"Like a lot of other women here, I opted for Nexplanon to save money and avoid worry over forgetting to take the pill every night. However, within a week of getting the implant I started bleeding. I went to my doctor to get low level hormonal birth control to stop the bleeding, as was recommended in the Nexplanon manual. The bleeding stuck around through 2 months of pills and was accompanied by mood swings (which to be honest could have been due to the several month long period). Sure, it was effective birth control, but it&#039;s not hard to avoid pregnancy when an 8 month long period severely limits opportunities to actually get pregnant. All in all, I am back on the pill and much happier."
