"i got it inserted about 3 months ago. so far i love it! insertion was quick and easy, not painful, but left an ugly bruise for about a week.  i felt bloated for about 2 weeks after insertion, but that eventually went away. my next menstrual cycle last almost 2 weeks, but i have not had a period since! i do get the symptoms of being on my cycle, such as cramping and bloating, back aches, but no bleeding. i was worried about other reviews about it making them an emotional wreck, causing depression, etc. i already deal with stress/anxiety/depression and am currently on medication for it, but it has not gotten any worse with the nexplanon. my experience has been good so far and would definitely recommend."
