"these reviews are scary yet helpful. i am on day four of my nexplanon and today i&#039;m having aches (such as period pains) which is normal because i&#039;m supposed to be on. i was on the shot but switched because i&#039;m moving away for college but didn&#039;t want to change my gynecologist so instead of three month visits its only yearly which is amazing. i&#039;m still on the depo and nexplanon. i&#039;ll be off the shot next month and pray that i don&#039;t have this unbearable bleeding everyone is talking about.
