"my overall experience was horrible.i have had the nexplanon implant for almost three years now. the day that i had it inserted i had real excruciating pain in my ovaries. so bad that i couldn&#039;t walk but it eventually went away. the second year of having it i would have pain where it was inserted and my arm would go numb for a while. i would also have a period for three months at a time. it started getting annoying after awhile and was always having pregnancy symptoms. for a year now i&#039;ve had a bump on each breast under the nipples and it never goes away it always gets bigger or smaller. i would also have pain right below my navel. so i&#039;ve decided to get the implant out. i don&#039;t recommend this to anyone unless you are aware of the side effects."
