"i went on nexplanon after a horrible experience with the pills. they made me nauseous, gave me headaches, and made me super hungry (i basically didn&#039;t feel like myself at all) i decided to go on nexplanon and i am so glad that i did! its insertion was painless (only a little bit of soreness in the following days) i did have some mood swings for the first couple of weeks but now it is totally fine! i feel great and just like myself. i do notice that my periods are irregular and i discharge for a while after my period is over. if you are worried about going on nexplanon because of the &quot;horrible&quot; side effects, i am here to tell you to go for it."
