"so there are alot of negative reviews but mine is a overall positive. no baby so that&#039;s great! never had a period at all. i am a complete spaz about needles and you feel a small pinch. it is tender for about a week after. i&#039;m on my second nexplanon and i have to admit you do gain a  little bit of weight. for me i stress eat and i&#039;m more moody so it makes sense. both times i was extremely emotional for the first 2-3 months after placement. it cools down some after that. biggest bummer is low sex drive. but to get it is  easy- it takes 10 mins don&#039;t have to think about it for 3 years! hope this is helpful."
