"when i first got nexaplanon inserted i was greeted with spotting and random periods.. which i was okay with (they do warn you about this before you get it inserted) after about almost a year of having it in, i started bleeding non stop.. heavy bleeding with large clots. to the point where i was taken by ambulance to the hospital where i was told my hemoglobin and hematocrit were extremely low due to my heavy periods. i was admitted and had 6 blood transfusions while i was there. after i was discharged i immediately went to my ob to get it removed.. i&#039;m still suffering from the side effects of this horrible birthcontrol. i recommend sticking to the pills. this birthcontrol is horrible for me"
