"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon in for about a year. i didn&#039;t like it at first because after i gave birth i got it inserted about a couple weeks after. obviously i still had my period so when i got it in, i had heavy bleeding everyday for about a month. i always felt like i was pregnant because i had symptoms like nausea, bloating, mood swings, and my breasts swelled up. i talked to my doctor and she gave me pills to control my estrogen and that helped within 3 days. after that it was smooth sailing. within the year i had spotting twice that lasted about a week. i felt normal again and for me it was awesome. i did however get it removed couple days ago only because my husband and i are planning on getting pregnant. i will use nexplanon again!"
