Birth Control
"After having terrible side effects with other birth control methods, I decided to try Nexplanon. The insertion was fairly painless (like a hard pinch) and took less than 30 seconds. The bruise on my arm did last for a few weeks (granted, I bruise like a banana so I was expecting this). I got it inserted on Dec 28th, 2015 and didn&#039;t notice any major differences until late Jan when my period started. This was on target with my regular cycle, so I didn&#039;t think too much about it until it just kept going. At this point, I have been on my period for 10 months. Although there have been a couple times where I&#039;ve NOT had it, they only last for a couple days and are very sporadic. I wanted to try and wait it out, but will prob get it taken out soon."
