"my nexplanon was inserted on january 20th, the last day of my period. i&#039;m afraid of needles but it didn&#039;t hurt as bad/just a slight tug and pressure when inserting! this is my 1st bc ever. 

now it&#039;s 02/09/2017 and i noticed some spotting last night (originally it&#039;s 3 days left until i would normally have my period) i never spotted before throughout any of my periods. i thought i had started last night when it &quot;felt&quot; like my normal period symptoms, except this morning, i only had brown discharge but no. blood  

my arm was aching for about 1-2 weeks after it was inserted and i have two toddlers (1 &amp; 2 year olds) so i try to avoid them laying on my arm or touching it. 

so far, i like nexplanon. hopefully my overall, future, reviews are great!"
