"i&#039;ve had nexplanon since 2011, and i love it! i haven&#039;t had any major problems from the implant.



pros:

most effective contraceptive

i don&#039;t have to worry about taking it (for ~3 years)



cons:

i get ovarian cysts from time to time that can be bothersome, but they always regress on their own.

irregular periods. i never know when i will get my period. sometimes i won&#039;t have it for months at a time, but not knowing when i might get my period doesn&#039;t bother me much. i just keep a tampon in my purse.



i highly recommend nexplanon and will be getting my 3rd put in next year when it&#039;s time to remove this one."
