"i&#039;ve had mine over a year now , i was skeptical about it and scared of the side effects but let me tell you this stuff is super effective !!!  i did have a few side effects that i did not enjoy at first but after a few months my body got used  to it and now i barely get my period and if i do i just spot for like a week . but honestly i been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend ever since i got on the nexplanon and nothing :) i&#039;m very happy with it i don&#039;t have to worry about anything. i honestly can say it has done its job"
