Comment:
I've had nexplanon for 3 years now. Besides when they numb your arm, the procedure for getting it inserted is painless. And it works! I haven't gotten pregnant. My period stopped completely for a year and a half, but then became very irregular after that.

Comment:
I’ve had nexplanon for almost 5 months now and honestly it was a very good decision. Back story: I was on the same bc pill (sprintec) for 8yrs. (Started when I was 13 until I was 22) it helped with regulating my period and my acne but then in the last 2-3 years I started noticing I was getting very bad cramps when I’d be on my period and VERY bad mood swings.
