"worst experience ever.i got my nexplanon in january of 2015. insertion was alright, it bruised pretty bad and always itched. i was under the impression i would not have a period at all, but the exact opposite occurred. i have had off and on periods that typically last about a month. being in the military and on a deployment i didn&#039;t want to have to worry about my period, but oh boy i did. mood swings like crazy. one second i was alright and loved the world and then the next i was yelling at my boyfriend for the smallest things and wanting to cry. i was on the pill previously and did not experience anything like that. 
i got it removed earlier today and it was a wave of relief. finally i know i will have regular periods!!"
