"i&#039;m 21 and i got the nexaplon around december of 2015. insertion was okay he numbed it so i didn&#039;t feel a thing. everything was fine, my period started the beginning of january for like a week. first few weeks sex was painful &amp; every time me and my boyfriend would have sex, i would bleed for about 2-3 days following.  and ever since january 18,2016 i have been bleeding since. 3 months without sex and i&#039;m going crazy lol. i know it takes awhile for your body to adjust to hormones and whatever but this is extreme and i&#039;m actually getting it removed to get the mirena iud. hopefully i have a better experience with it. i was on the pill for about 5 years but the estrogen give me migraines."
