"i received the nexplanon implant on march 29, 2015 and yesterday marked my first full month being on nexplanon, so far it has not been a &quot;terrible&quot; or extreme experience. i did not have intense brusing or swelling when it was put in, it didn&#039;t hurt at all it was much like a bee sting. i have a small dot like pink scar, i have yet to have my period in the entire month. no spotting, no intense mood swings just one or two so far but i can feel them coming on. some small pimples on my face but not severe acne. not much weight gain although i have lost about 3 pounds. one or two intense headaches but advil can fix that. so far i would suggest nexplanon to anyone looking for an effective easy solution. don&#039;t let all the other reviews scare you."
