"i got the implant done on june 1st. before getting the implant i was on numerous different variations of the pill which all were terrible for me. every pill i took made me really angry, made me gain weight and gave me really bad hives! so far with the nexplanon i have been able to lose the weight i gained on the pill and very rarely feel angry. the only thing bad is that i feel really emotional on this but usually its only during pms. i have only gotten one period so far though i am not pregnant. getting it in was simple and painless! the only annoying part was that your arm is numb afterwards."
