"i&#039;ve had nexplanon in for a year now and absolutely love it! getting it in was tolerable, just a small shot of lidocaine to numb it and the rest i didn&#039;t feel at all. after about 4 days my period started and lasted about two weeks but after that i haven&#039;t even spotted once. seriously, no period for a whole year is amazing. i haven&#039;t had one pregnancy scare and my long term boyfriend and i use no other form of protection. my boobs have gone from a 36b to a 36d though, but that&#039;s not a bad thing! my mood is finally normal which is unusual for me on birth control, and my skin hasnot gotten any worse at all, if anything it&#039;s gotten a little better! i love nexplanon! i should be the spokesperson!"
