"i am having a great experience with nexplanon. i had it inserted the day after my period ended and i have had no period for two months now. my arm was grossly bruised for about 8 days and it was sensitive, but it is fine now. i have experienced no spotting, no bleeding, no pain associated with my cycle and have found my moodiness to have curbed. the only side effect i have is eating too much sugary foods during the week i am supposed to bleed. but i always have. there is no associated weight gain with this drug so i don&#039;t understand how women can blame nexplanon for their weight. anyway. works like a charm for me!"
