"i think nexplanon is right for you if you want to avoid pregnancy. at least, that was my experience. i have had nexplanon for 4 months already, and have only had spotting since insertion. i would consider a downside being the spotting lasted two to three weeks around the second-third month, but overall it&#039;s been nice not having a period. its very effective against pregnancy. at first, i was very worried that i could be pregnant, but i&#039;ve taken multiple cheap tests and they&#039;re all negative! i&#039;ve calmed down about thinking i&#039;m pregnant, as i trust it more. my moods have been crazy until this week, which might be a temporary thing. other than the moods i consider it to be a great option!"
