"this is a great birth control method, at least for me anyway. i&#039;ve seen a lot of negative reviews that scared me into getting it. i&#039;m so happy i decided to get the nexplanon. the insertion was nothing. just a little stinging from the needle they numb your arm with. my arm bruised pretty bad but they are yellowing now. sometimes when i move my arm a certain way i feel a slight pinch but i imagine it&#039;ll go away eventually since the area is still sensitive. so far no side effects. i lost a lb, no acne, no headaches and i haven&#039;t bled or spotted. try it ladies! don&#039;t be scared. remember most people take the time to write negative reviews."
