"i got the nexplanon put in my arm last month. i previously had the mirena, loved it, but it started poking my boyfriend while doing the hibbity-dibbity and after 3 years i developed debilitating headaches. on the flip side, i had no period for almost 3 years... it was the most magical thing ever. i decided i wanted to try something that wasn&#039;t so invasive down there, so i went with the nexplanon. i heard many good things from other friends, i got all excited, ready to have my sex-life back. after getting the nexplanon put in, i continued to bleed because i had to be on my period when you first get it put in. it stopped for a little bit, still some light spotting. now, blood, everything and everywhere... blood. like dripping status. not happy"
