"i am new to nexplanon - about two and a half weeks - so i cannot speak to long term use, but i thought i&#039;d use this forum to chronicle my experience. 



so far, no major issues. i had it inserted on the first day of my first post-abortion period. the period was a bit heavier and lasted longer than my normal, but i knew the post-ab period might do that. i continued to spot for the new week and a half, but i&#039;ve been two days spot-free. 



i have experienced a couple bad headaches (which isn&#039;t typical for me) and what seems like a loss of appetite. i exercise frequently, and my muscle soreness has increased, but i cannot confirm the implant has had any affect on that. so far, i&#039;m looking forward to sticking this out. i&#039;ll update as use continues"
