birth control
"I got Nexplanon 8 weeks postpartum. Since I'm breastfeeding, I had no period before getting it. I got it inserted on a Friday and started bleeding the following week on Thursday. The bleeding lasted for a week straight. I'm going to assume it's my period. The only side effects I had was the bleeding and slight increase in appetite (no weight gain though) oh and the nasty bruise by the insertion site. I was nervous about getting a hormonal birth control birth control. I was on the pill a couple years ago and was not myself on it. I'm really happy with Nexplanon so far."
