"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 7 months.  i&#039;m rating it an 8 because i have only one complaint: mood swings.  i&#039;m a pretty sensitive person, but on nexplanon i&#039;ve experienced (about once a month) a very serious sadness, almost like depression, when nothing at all was wrong.  previous to this i was taking the pill (apri) and i experienced some mood swings, but nothing compared to on this.  on the positive side, i love everything else about nexplanon!  i don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill every day or picking up prescription on time, insertion was quick and easy (planned parenthood) and i did have spotting a few months (for 10 days, then 12 days) but other than that my period has disappeared which is nice.  it&#039;s not for everyone but i recommend!"
