"after reading reviews for this, i was afraid to try nexplanon. but as another helpful reviewer stated, try looking up your current birth control and you will also find some horror stories. i switched from the pill (reclipsen) and i have had nothing but a great experience!! the insertion was absolutely painless, but my arm was sore (soreness similar to vaccination pain in arm) after for about 3 days with some bruising. once inserted, i never again got my period. i have lost weight but kept it in the good spots ;) i have no problems with headaches, moodiness, dryness, increased acne etc. most importantly, it is doing it&#039;s job as bc!!"
