"i&#039;ve tried 2 other birth control methods before nexplanon which didn&#039;t work for me. i&#039;ve been on nexplanon now for 6 months.

insertion: the insertion process was easy and quick and painless, although i was left with a sizable bruise that i had to explain away to acquaintances and coworkers. 

period: i got the injection on day 2 of my period and haven&#039;t had a period or any spotting since, which is awesome. even better?  no cramps!

acne: i have mild acne and haven&#039;t seen a change for better or worse. 

libido: my libido decreased when i first got on nexplanon but it&#039;s now back up to its original level unlike when i was on pills. 

i had an increase in head aches for the first month but now there are no other side affects to report."
