Birth Control
"I got the nexplanon in June 2014. It works as in I haven&#039;t gotten pregnant, but I&#039;ve had plenty of scares because after over a year my period is still irregular. It started off great, only got it once a month and it was shorter than normal. Then at the beginning of this year I started missing 2 months of my period and then on the third month i get it twice as long. I&#039;d like to know if anyone else has had this experience. I guess you should consider my period regular, but it sucks bc I&#039;m in pain for so long (the implant has not reduced my cramp severity). Another con is that it itches all the time. But I don&#039;t have to get a needle stuck in my butt and I don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill everyday and I&#039;m still not pregnant so yaaay."
