"i&#039;ve was on nexplanon for about 4 months before switching to an iud (wanted a longer option).

the best thing about an arm implant or iud is that you don&#039;t have to take a pill everyday. there&#039;s no missed doses; these birth control methods have a 99.9% effective rate for a reason lol. it&#039;s convenient and you can choose how long it stays in your body.



here&#039;s my experience with nexplanon:



no periods, no cramping. 

i do have more breakouts but use a sulfur and charcoal treatment along with a spinbrush to combat acne.

my appetite has decreased significantly which has resulted in weight loss (so happy).

frequent headaches.

more energy.



i would recommend it. if i wanted something more short term i would&#039;ve stuck with it."
