"i have had nexplanon in for almost three years, and will be getting it taken out in nov. i decided to get this after my son was born. i have never used any type of birth control (except for a condom). it has been a wonder! i have not had a period while on this. which is awesome for me since i had very bad cramps during that time. the only downside to nexplanon for me is the fact that i would get headaches lasting for two days. other than that i would get it put in again."
