"i have had the nexplanon implant in for a few months now and i seriously love it. it saved me so much money from the nuvaring i used to be on. i didn&#039;t bruise when i got it implanted and was only sore for a few days. i have not had a period or any of the random bleeding that i was worried about. i have not had any side effects! i&#039;m so pleased! i&#039;ve been on birth control for 4 years (2 years of the pill and 2 years of the nuvaring) and nexplanon is so much more convenient."
