"i was on the pill for about 5 years when i got tired of taking them daily. they worked perfectly fine, though - so i decided to explore my other options. i have been on nexplanon for about 4 months now. i&#039;ve only bled once since insertion, and it was very predictable as my breasts became very tender for 2 weeks prior. the flow itself was light, and i didn&#039;t experience cramps, nausea, nor migraines. my skin didn&#039;t react well at first, but now it&#039;s back to normal. the most negative thing about the implant is that my mood has been down during this entire time. i don&#039;t get excited for anything - whether it be outings, sex, etc. - and i&#039;m very irritable."
