birth control
"I have tried the pill and the patch, neither of which did ANYTHING for my heavy bleeding, cramps, or acne and both made me extremely emotional. My OB suggested Nexplanon over a year ago and I have been period free since insertion. Sometimes I will still get cramps but NOTHING like they were before. I am very pleased with my IUD. Initial implantation is painless, my doctor gave me a shot to numb my arm, however when the shot wore off I felt like I had been punched really hard in the arm. This pain lasted for several weeks but no longer hurts unless I over use my arm.  I read a lot of negative reviews before I had this done and I honestly think that nexplanon works differently from person to person. Nexplanon cost me 25$ USD after insurance."
