"the actual insertion wasn&rsquo;t bad, they numb your arm and you don&rsquo;t feel anything but a slight pressure. you should be on your period when you get the implant. the first month, i was bleeding every single day. it was very light but annoying. i was getting ready to have it removed but it stopped. i haven&rsquo;t bled since, and it&rsquo;s been a little over 5 months now. i don&rsquo;t have any symptoms or problems. overall, i&rsquo;m very happy with nexplanon and will probably get a new one implanted when the 3 years is up."
