"i had nexplanon inserted on 2 sept 2013 and its the first method of birth control i&#039;ve tried. i&#039;d read where it is the most reliable, so went for that option. no pain during insertion or afterwards. only had a period the first month and nothing since then which feels a little odd but is also bliss! completely forget it&#039;s even in my arm most of the time, however my moods are horrendous, i cry far more than i ever used to, i snap at people and i never used to, i feel very anxious or conscious and often feel exhausted. i don&#039;t know if these are side effects of nexplanon as i&#039;m in my final year at uni so it could be stress etc., but i&#039;d imagine it is the increased hormones. all in all i&#039;d say i&#039;ve had a good experience most of the time."
