"i will say that reading these reviews scared me until i read the reviews for the birth control i was on - seasonique. those reviews were much worse than these. after a lot of careful research and thought, i&#039;ve decided to go with nexplanon. today is day 1. i went through the insertion process with my doctor this morning and it was absolutely painless. my doctor and her staff made sure i didn&#039;t feel any pain and that i was comfortable through the whole procedure. i have had a little soreness, but it is very manageable with ibuprofen and rest. i have the best primary care doctor ever. i will post another review in 30 days."
