"i got nexplanon at the beginning of mach. i was due to get my period about a week later, and i ended up getting it 2 days after insertion. i was worried that it would last for a long time like other reviewers stated, but it lasted about as long as my typical period would last (about 6 days) and was very light. i did have bad cramping starting two days after it was inserted, but it only lasted two days and i am assuming it was my body adjusting to the new medication that was being released in my body. since then, i got a light period in april that was slightly shorter and i&#039;ve had nothing since! i haven&#039;t had any cramping or spotting since the first week and i recommend it to all my friends."
