birth control
"I'll start with a little background saying I was suggested this by my doctor after having a history of migraines with aura and gaining 30 lbs on the pill. I got the nexplanon inserted in February and have had it for a month now. I didn't expect to get it inserted the day I did, and wasn't on my period that day which they suggest you should be. I got my period for he first time in seven weeks and it's been far lighter than the periods I normally have. I also usually have long periods and am currently on day 8 with no end in sight. We'll just have to wait it out. But so far, this is doing far better than the pill I tried!! Plus the scar is very minimal and it didn't hurt to get placed. Very minimal room for human error."
