"the dr. office brought in a &quot;specialist&quot; to insert the nexplanon.  my arm turned blue and i was in horrible pain.  i called the office and they said that was normal.  my arm never stopped hurting.  i tried to have it removed sooner but, the dr. office said i needed to wait out the term.  i bled non-stop until they prescribed the oral contraceptive to take daily.  i was definitely protected from getting pregnant (because i had to be on 2 birth controls) when i went in to have the np removed (3 ys ltr) they could not find it, even with ultrasound.  sent me to a surgeon who also had a lot of trouble finding it!!  in fact mistook my median nerve for the np and now i cant move my left arm!!! &quot;specialist&quot; inserted wrong and refuses to take blame!"
