"my doctor recommended for me to get the nexplanon and i absolutely love it. she recommended i get it while i was on my period and i went ahead and got it on day one and i was done bleeding by day 3 and i haven&#039;t had any issues with it since then. it&#039;s been 3 months. no spotting, no side effects. i have actually lost quite a bit a weight with this in my arm. i recommend this form of birth control"
