"i had seen everywhere that spotting was the worst symptom of this. once i got the nexplanon my period stopped immediately with no spotting whatsoever! yay! on the downside, i was a little emotional for about two weeks. once that wore off, i became extremely exhausted and hungry all the time. the symptoms have eased up within about two months. i still get pms-like symptoms but no actual period. overall i adore this birth control method! no babies and no having to remember to take a pill!"
