birth control
"I got nexplanon during early August 2016. let's start with getting it in. The only painful part really was the needle (and that's a lot from me because I hate needles!) I usually get my period on the 22nd of each month and I guess my body continued to like that day because even on nexplanon i got my period the 22nd. This period was HEAVY. The heaviest I've ever had. I had HUGE blood clots and it was so painful. It stopped after a week and now I'm just lightly spotting. Ive only had it for a month so I'm going to hang in there. It's light like i could just wear panty liners, but constant blood is inconvenient. I haven't had horrid side effects yet. maybe increased anxiety? I already have anxiety disorder so tricky to tell"
