"i got nexplanon inserted on april 20, 2016. i was on my period the day i went to get it.. my period stopped the next day. i have not had any spotting or bleeding since. i have had none of the side effects at all. i hardly bruised also. my arm was super sore for about a week. i would recommend this birth control to anyone. i have always had a very difficult time with bc. always bled thru all of them and never stopped. it&#039;s completely different with nexplanon. so glad i got it!"
