"i&#039;ve been on nexoplanon for 10 months now no side effects i had spotting the first 3-4 months like the doctor told me and i haven&#039;t gotten my period since which is awesome cramping here and there and no acne or weight gain. when i received nexoplanon it was quick as can be and no pain due to the anesthesia i felt nothing at all. i love this birth control its super effective has protected me and i even forget its there bruising after insertion lasted about a week very minimal as long as you keep your arm wrapped for 48 hours as told and bruising is normal. after that week i had a tiny scar and no bruising. i recommend this 100%"
