birth control
"The first time I had Nexplanon the Dr. that put it in did not numb my arm enough, and it hurt really bad to go in.  When I complained about the pain, she told me it was not a completely painless process.  From the first month of having the implant, I did not get my period. Not even once for over 3 years.   After my first implant was up, I contemplated going to an IUD because the process was painful the first time.  My DR (a different one) suggested that I stay with the implant since they have to take it out anyways, they can put another one in.  This DR made sure I was numb, and I felt NOTHING getting it out or putting it back in.  I am hoping the no periods continue."
