"so i am 19 and i have had mine for a little over a month. when i first got nexplanon, it was painful not bad though. i&#039;m a baby to all kinds of pain and it hurt no more than a piercing. it was soar for a couple of days and made my very physical job hard. i bleed 1 day after getting it (it was put in on my 4th day of my period) then the bleeding stoped but after that i bleed for 3 days very lightly about 7 days after it was inserted. i just started my second period and it&#039;s so light a pantie liner is plenty! the only other side effect i have is acne! i can&#039;t stand it! but my boyfriend said it&#039;s fine because he still loves me :) i was told to wait 2 weeks to have sex but i had unprotected sex on the 11th day. over all i love this product!"
