"i have had my nexplanon for about four months now and i am so happy i got this! the insertion was bearable and i got some breakouts the first week or so but it wasn&#039;t too bad. so far my period has been pretty much regular, i  have a lighter flow which is great and i get fewer cramps. it still lasts about 5-6 days but i&#039;m not complaining. i haven&#039;t had any spotting in between periods. also, i never had a history of having headaches but after getting it i do get a few headaches here and there that last 5 minutes but nothing bad. i was nervous because of all these bad reviews, everyone is different but just give it a try, please. so far i am really happy i got it and it could work out for you like it did for me!"
