"back in 2013 i got my nexplanon inserted. for the first year and a half i had a period and now it&#039;s only a slight one every few months. i can easily say this is the easiest form of birth control (besides abstinence) because you literally don&#039;t have to do anything or worry about it. i highly recommend it to everyone, especially people (like me) who can&#039;t remember to take a pill at the same time every day or wheb to change your patch or whatever the case. also this is my second one so i can say from experience that insertion and removal are both not bad as far as pain goes. hopefully it works for you :)"
