"i initially wanted the mirena iud, but the insertion didn&#039;t work on me :/ so nexplanon was my plan b, because it is also one of the most effective methods out there.

i was unlucky again with insertion: the tip of the rod just kept poking out at the incision site! now my gyn removed it and inserted a new one for free, a bit more deeply and put a stitch at the incision site. so far so good, i&#039;ll get the stitch removed in 3 days.

keep in mind, that complication is extremely rare! i am just super unlucky with insertions somehow. fortunately it was effective even when not inserted at 100%.

other than that, i haven&#039;t had a period yet, nor spotting, my breasts are soft and never sore, unlike with the pill, looks good :)"
