"1st month with nexplanon in arm. very convenient considering not taking a pill everyday or remembering to get prescription for nuvaring every month (and then remembering to insert on the right date).  with nexplanon i had some symptoms that were quite worrisome because they were like pregnancy symptoms. even more so than other methods of birth controls i have used in the past.  the symptoms included strong food cravings, increased appetite, always sleepy, lightheadness when standing up, breast augmentation, and most scariest stomach flutters. the day i had planned to take a pregnancy test is the day my period started. so far period is very light."
