"here&#039;s the thing iv always had painful very painful cramps. i would know for certain that i would not be able to do anything 1 day out of the month. i was just lay in bed in extreme pain. no meds would help my pain it was the worst thing ever. but then i got nexplanon. and omg i was so happy when i got it my cramps went away i had no pain i felt like the luckiest girl in the world. but then i got my period ... and weeks later i was still on my period.. then months.... then a year. get my point ? i will be taking this out very soon. it sucks having to buy pads and tampons every day for years.. and being sexual active ? haha yeah right. this help my cramps but bleeding for 3 years straight. i can&#039;t take it anymore"
