"i&#039;ve had this implant for 2 years now and it&#039;s amazing the cons to it are trivial. i have a &quot;period&quot; about every three months that lasts about 2.5 weeks but it&#039;s so light most of the time a tampon isn&#039;t even needed. me and my husband have plenty of unprotected sex and i haven&#039;t even had the thought i was pregnant. the actual implantation was a bit scary and the bruise i had after was pretty gnarly but it went away and i&#039;m fine. after my horrid experience with iuds i&#039;m so glad this was a success. it also help since any extra estrogen put into my body makes me very sick, that is progesterone based so i&#039;m healthy as ever and it even helped me loose some of my baby weight. i&#039;m very happy with nexplanon!"
