"my first month on nexplanon was fine. then, the period started. i had a constant flow for 7 months. i became exhausted from constantly bleeding. i also experienced very strong mood swings starting a few months in - i would go from feeling perfectly fine to wanting to cry at the slightest thing and i usually couldn&#039;t shake off the negative feelings for the rest of the day. i just had this thing out after 8 months. the removal was painful and took more than half an hour, which isn&#039;t that unusual according to my doctor. a fitting end to an awful experience with this device!

i was on the pill for years before this, and never experienced the type of problems caused by the nexplanon. i wouldn&#039;t recommend it."
