"thought i&#039;d share my experience. i decided i had enough of the depo shot gained 10lbs on it. it was my 2nd day of my period the day i got my nexplanon inserted...only thing that hurt was the numbing shot. my arm is still tender but its getting better, my bruise is finally starting to lighten up. i&#039;ve had no bleeding in fact my period went away within an hour of insertion. my breasts have actually filled out more. i have no appetite now and i&#039;ve already lost 3lbs. no mood swings whatsoever...so far so good."
