Birth Control
"I got Nexplanon implanted in August of 2015, and as of January 2016, I&#039;m getting it removed. The positive features were that it was 100% covered by my insurance and that it was effective contraception (my partner and I do not use condoms). After implantation, my period came about five weeks later and did not stop for around three months. I read that this can happen with Nexplanon, so I decided to wait it out, and the bleeding stopped completely after a little over three months later. Then, after only two or three weeks, the bleeding has started again just as strongly as before. My doctor has tried a low dose of estrogen and a regular routine of ibuprofen to see if the bleeding would stop, but neither worked."
