"i had my first implant in november of 2012 and haven&#039;t had a period since and i&#039;m now on my second implant. i had a light, irregular period before but this has completely eradicated them and i couldn&#039;t be happier. i&#039;ve had monogamous sexual partners ejaculate inside and i&#039;ve never had anything close to a pregnancy scare. this birth control is honestly the best thing that&#039;s ever happened to me. honestly the numbing shot is worse than the actual incision for inserting/removing and just left a small bruise. i can&#039;t tell if it&#039;s affected my mood because i am on psych meds for other reasons and was before i started nexplanon. no weight or gain or acne either. this thing is a miracle for me."
