"this was honestly the worse experience with birth control. it does its job and doesn&#039;t get you pregnant but everything else is horrible! for starters i am a diabetic so healing  does not work so well for me. the hole the nexplanon first went into stayed open for a whole year to the point were i can see the actual nexplanon rod in my arm and sometimes this ugly pimple like bump from the rod trying to poke out. the side effects were also horrible, i would not stop spotting, i bled everyday and it is just gross. it even stopped my sex drive because i am so self conscious because i just keep bleeding. so after 2 years of hell. i&#039;m getting it out of my arm tomorrow and i am so excited."
