"i had my fourth baby girl 3-31-13 and got the nexplanon inserted 5-6-13 and i was not bleeding when i got it. a week later i started my period and it was light the first 3 days and then became heavy. i started being nausea, headache and had terrible cramps. i then decided to look up some reviews and side effects. after reading some reviews i became scared about the bleeding. but today is 3 weeks since i got it and i stopped bleeding today so that was a total of 2 weeks of bleeding and it did lighten up after 9 days so i decided to keep it. it all really depends on your body so you would have to try it &amp; see for yourself. it is doing good for me and hopefully it does good for you."
