birth control
"I have been using Nexplanon since September of 2014 as an alternative to using the pill.  The insertion process was painless due to the loads of numbing medication they placed along the injection site, it does leave a large bruise for about a week. After thaythat,  I forget I have it.

My periods went from 3-4 days to 10-14; from light flow to HEAVY; and from no PMS symptoms to all of them: acne, tender breasts, fatigue,  bloating,  etc.  It has done its job as a birth control.  I'm only getting it removed because my gastro and I have linked the severity of my IBS symptoms to hormonal birth control use.  Unfortunately so."
