"i love nexplanon. i&#039;ve had it for four months now and i was extremely worried because i don&#039;t take very well to birth control. i&#039;ve tried about three different kinds and they all gave me horrible side effects. so i thought i would get the non stop bleeding like they say 70% of women get. but i didn&#039;t. i got headaches for the first month and no period for two months. the last two months it&#039;s been just a light spotting off and on for about 3-4 days. which is the length of my normal period. 

i don&#039;t get any warnings that my period is coming anymore. no cramps, no sore breasts. nothing. i do get food cravings more often everyday and i have an increased appetite and a tiny scar at the insertion site but that&#039;s all."
