"i highly recommend this bc. not only is it a super convenient option for those of us that can&#039;t seem to take a pill at the same time every day, it has also helped regulate my cycle. pills make me nauseous. i don&#039;t like needles so depo is not gonna happen. i tried an iud and loved it for the fact that i only got a period every 3 mo and it was super light, but it shifted somehow and i had a bad experience in the removal process. i got my third nexplanon implant yesterday and swear by them. stopped after my first to have another child and have been doing well for the 6 years. no crazy bleeding patterns, helped monumentally with my moodiness and cramping. this thing is the best. totally worth the fact that my arm hurts for a day after insertion."
