"don&#039;t do it!! i got the implant inserted in march of 2013 and i am going to wait until the 3 years is up to get it removed but it is the worst!! sure, it does a great job of preventing a baby... but it makes you feel terrible all the time.  the past year on it has been the worst.  i didn&#039;t get a period until novenmber of 2014 while on nexplanon.  then after that it has been hell.  this last month i bled all month but 4 days.  and when i say bleed i mean super plus tanpons being changed every hour and a half kind of bleeding.  since about august i have these &quot;pregnancy like symptoms&quot; that just won&#039;t go away.  i have even thrown up.  i can not wait to get this little devil out of my my arm."
