"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 4 months and i don&#039;t regret it. i was scared by the negative reviews but i got it anyway. my experience has been so positive. insertion was quick and painless other than the lidocaine shot which stings momentarily. i had been on my normal flow period (day 3) when i got the implant. bleeding stopped completely within 3 hours. i spotted lightly for about 2 weeks straight beginning 8 days after insertion but then it went away and i&#039;ve had zero bleeding since then. i lost 30lbs almost effortlessly since getting the implant. the first 10 lbs came off in the first week without dieting. i had to work a little for the rest but i think nexplanon actually helped balance my pre-existing body chemistry problems and made it easier."
