"i had the nexplanon inserted 2 months after the delivery of my first born child. i figured it would be easier since i was obviously busy with a newborn and breast feeding. i kept it in for 7 months before i realized enough was enough! i bled about 20 days of the month, had zero sex drive, increased depression which i had originally associated with ppd  (not the case), and it made sex super painful! essentially turned me raw from the inside out. didn&#039;t get pregnant though, so i guess it did it&#039;s job! easy insertion and removal process. would never recommend this."
