"when nexplanon was first inserted in my arm, it was very painful and my arm was black and blue for a week. i didn&#039;t have a period for the first 8 months of it. my moods were normal and sex drive. the beginning of 2016. i started to spot for weeks, my moods were changing a lot, my migraines were harsh, had no sex drive at all. my arms and legs were starting to feel numb for no reason. at this point had it in for a year. all and all it was just a very bad experience for me! my gyn took it out and was &quot;stuck&quot; in my arm and took 10 minutes to get it out. never going to get an implant again..."
