Birth Control
"The numbing shot hurt but I couldn&#039;t feel the insertion of Nexplanon. The days following, I had a bruise which lasted for a week or two. About a week and a half after getting the implant, I started spotting and didn&#039;t stop for two and a half months, which was pretty discouraging at first, however it was very light and I knew my body could take time to adjust to the new hormone so I waited it out. Side note: I highly suggest U by Kotex panty liners, they don&#039;t feel like they&#039;re even there (not sponsored, wish I was ;) ) When I stopped spotting, no period for around 50 days. Since then, my cycle has been around 40-45 days and light period. Which is pretty nice cause it&#039;s less periods per year than the average 28-30 day cycle I&#039;ve always had."
