"i have had the nexplanon for over a year and it has worked fabulously. i have two chdren and wanted a long term birth control that i didnt have to remember every day. i&#039;ve had one period since getting it put in. which hurt like hell that&#039;s why im rating it a nine. i lost 20 pounds while on it and my sex drive has gone up. my relationship needed that. it has been my most positive experience with a form of birth control."
