"i have been using nexplanon for almost a year and aside from a few side effects such a sleepiness and breakouts in my face i love it. my gynecologist recommended nexplanon for me due to me having such heavy periods and long lasting periods. i was going through a pad every hour non stop for over a week. it was fully covered by my insurance so i said what the hell got nothing to lose. the insertion process was easy but was quite sore afterwards for a few days. i tried so many other birth controls hated them all and they made me sick. i had a little bit a spotting from time to time for first few months and no i never have a period which i love. i barely notice it in my arm
 highly recommend to woman having long heavy periods."
