"i had nexplanon implanted 4 days ago. about 4 years ago, when i was 16, i started to develop multiple, painful ovarian cysts. i was put on lupron injections to shrink all of my reproductive organs and put me into medically induced menopause. this was required so i can have surgery to remove extra tissues and fibroids left from the cysts. i then was put on the depo shot to keep the cysts from returning. i had no periods for about 2 1/2 years until i stopped the shot because of side effects. i began to have my period again, but because of the hormone treatments my body was not producing hormones normally. i would then have irregular periods. the nexplanon has already normalized everything and the wound is healing nicely."
