"i love love love nexplanon! i was on the pill for 2 years and the pill worked great for me, but i just got sick of taking the pill everyday. i went to my doctor and just wanted a easier carefree form of birth control. we talked about nexplanon and the iud but i just didn&#039;t want the iud. i have had my normal time of the month for the first two weeks but it was a lot shorter and lighter, which is crazy because my period was like 3 days to begin with and no symptoms. my boyfriend and i love it and definitely be getting another one when my three years are up."
