birth control
"I had my second Nexplanon implant fitted in August 2015. I love the implant, maybe I have been lucky but the only side effects I have experienced are an occasional itchy arm and irregular periods. When I had my first Nexplanon implant fitted in 2012 it did however take a good 3 months to "settle" and my body to get used to it, I think I bled for 3-4 weeks straight but if you are willing to persevere I would definitely recommend it. 



It did not hurt when it was fitted, removed or replaced in the Same arm although I did have some bruising for a week or so. 



I did lots of research before having my Nexplanon implant fitted, there seems to be far more horror stories than success, but for me it has been really positive and I love it."
