"i absolutely love nexplanon! ladies, at first i was super hesitant but i had to get off the trinessa birth control because it caused me too much bloating and i was miserable 3 weeks out of the month. i was so excited to get the implant but the reviews i read freaked me out. the process was super easy and fast. the most uncomfortable part was the numbing process (it stung a bit). i didn&#039;t feel the implant insertion at all. there was bruising for about a week and it itched quite a bit but it went away after a week once it was fairly healed. as far as side effects, i felt a bit moody for about 2 weeks and i had a headache for a few days when i first got the implant. i&#039;ve had zero bleeding and no weight gain."
