"i had this birth control in for about 6 months. getting the birth control in doesn&#039;t hurt a bit, mine bruised pretty bad afterwards. i spotted for about 3 and a half weeks after i got nexplanon put in my arm and have not bled since! i did though have crazy mood swings and always felt really bad and said sorry after but that doesn&#039;t make it okay. i was so so irritable and annoyed at every single thing. i was so unmotivated when this was in my arm, i went to the gym 4 times in 6 months and i used to go everyday before. i was tired all the time and felt exhausted after 4 hours of work! lastly, i was hungry, to the point of feeling sick, every 3 hours if i didn&#039;t eat! i didn&#039;t bleed after the first month, but it wasn&#039;t worth it for me!"
