"I got the nexplanon implant because my periods would come with extreme cramps that put me down for 4-5 days. I would sleep all the time and couldn&#039;t help but to cry because I was in so much pain. So, my OB suggested a birth control and I heard really bad things about the depo shot so I didn&#039;t want that &amp; I hadn&#039;t heard anything bad about the implant. So I went with it rather than the shot. 

I had the implant for three months. In the time that I had it, I had nothing but horrific migraines, cramping and I bled for 3 weeks, stopped for 6 days, &amp; now I&#039;ve been bleeding for 30 days. I&#039;ve had a headache since 2-1-16. I am an emotional wreck. I cry at the stupidest things and I get upset over nothing. I highly recommend not getting this implant."
