"i have had nexplanon for 4 months. the insertion wasn&#039;t bad at all, the doctors numb the area and you will feel no pain. i also had little bruising. the first week i had it it was fine and the second week i started to bleed a medium flow for 4 days. my flowed soften and only had to wear a panty liner for awhile. this lasted about 3 weeks but i didn&#039;t mind it. then i had a week off my period and the next week my period started up for 2 weeks. after that i haven&#039;t bled at all and i love it. i haven&#039;t had any problems with mood swings, depression nothing like that.if anything it has improved my mood. i don&#039;t have to worry about getting pregnant and my partner also loves it. i highly recommend nexplanon for a long-term birth control."
