"i had my nexplanon put in on 2/24/15 and the only side effect i have had is trouble swallowing, sore throught, sleep deprivation and frequent urination. my period stopped that night and my sex drive has increased. the only thing i don&#039;t like so far is the frequent urination because i have to use the bathroom like every 10 to 20 mins and i cant really move my arm because of the pain but im loving it so far."
