"i got the nexplanon inserted in july 2014. didnt get my period for a little over a month until august and i have yet to stop bleeding. not kidding you, i have been constantly bleeding/on my period for 10 months and i want to rip out my ovaries. dr just kept saying to stick it out but **** that. i have an appointment in a week to get it removed and have the paragard iud put in. i am not happy with this birth control. i have very few birth control options because i get bad aura migraines that are made worse by any bc that has progesterone. lucky me. nexplanon was my last resort before an iud but now i have no other options seeing as how depo made me an overweight lunatic, the patch gave my blinding daily migraines."
