"i had nexplanon inserted a week ago, it was painless insertion, much better than intrauterine device insertion (i&#039;ve had mirena &amp; paraguard in the past). i will probably do nexplanon again if needed. a lot of negative reviews but that&#039;s with anything, however i did my review research prior to decided what birth control option and i was able to find some positive ones. so far no problems, no spotting, nothing. the day my paraguard was removed i immediately stopped bleeding and i&#039;ve been happy since."
