"the nexplanon was seriously so wonderful in the beginning! no headaches, no weight gain, no bleeding, and my sex drive increased which obviously i wasn&#039;t complaining! 
i didn&#039;t bleed for the first 4.5 months! i was so excited. then the 5th month came rolling around and i bled for 3 months straight! i woke up one morning at 8:20 am soaked through my super tampon by 9:15, here recently i went through 96 tampons in a 17 hour period. ugh! not to mention the pain during intercourse! the pain gets so intense i start balling during sex, which upsets my partner because he thinks he is hurting me. i have no  appetite to eat, and i am extremely tired all the time, i have no energy, and my bleeding is so bad. i do not recommend this birth control!"
