"right before and after getting the nexplanon i would lose sleep over reading the reviews on here. i am on a year long traveling trip and my doctor told me this would be the best option. after reading all the horrifying reviews i vowed that if i had a good experience i would come back and share since usually unhappy customers are more likely to write reviews. i think it really just depends on your body. for me so far it&#039;s been about two months and i&#039;ve had zero side effects except for the fact that it took away my periods completely which exactly what i needed. praise god! i am grateful."
