"i got my nexplanon inserted on 5/14 (3 days before my prom), and was completely satisfied. the only part that sucked was the numbing, besides that i felt nothing. after the insertion i had no symptoms, just a severely bruised arm that i had to cover up for prom. i guess you can say that i am one of the luckier cases, i have not had my period since the insertion, nor have i had any bad side effects. only reason why i got it was because i go off to college in the fall and don&#039;t want anything unexpected. i highly recommend this form of birth control because once it is in, that is all- no 3 month visits to your expensive gyno, no daily reminders of taking a pill and no painful insertions."
