Birth Control
"I got nexplanon at planned parenthood for free a little over 2 years ago. It really didn&#039;t hurt very much to get it inserted, although my arm was a little sore the rest of the day and maybe the next. Insertion was overall no big deal. I honestly can&#039;t remember what my periods were like when I first got it, but after 2-4 months I didn&#039;t have a period at all. I loved not having a period, but it may not be for everyone. I didn&#039;t have a period up until 3 months or so ago and they&#039;ve been awful. I will have my period for 10-15 days, then get it again a week later. I&#039;m switching to something else tomorrow when I see my doctor. I have noticed more acne than usual for me, but nothing extreme.  Weight gain has been minimal if at all."
