"i got the nexplanoninserted may 2013. the insert was a quick sting,  pain in arm only lasted a day or so.  the first year and a half,  bleeding was every couple months for a few day,  now having it for 2 years when i bleed it feels like i will never stop.  heavy bleeding. bleed for ever.  will stop for  a few hours and it will start again, normally starts while sleeping at night so i wake up cranky :-( it&#039;s been 3 weeks so far i have been bleeding heavy.  though the side effects are driving me crazy.. very effective!!"
