birth control
"I had the nexplanon put in about two months ago and have only had one period since. The period was normal and light and lasted about 4 days. I had cramps during that time, but it was nothing unbearable. Since that time I have been happy to not have to take any oral contraceptives in a timely fashion. I've heard a variety of stories from this form of birth control, but I would definitely recommend it to someone who doesn't want to take something daily! Also, the procedure does hurt a little, but they do numb you and it's very quick!"
