birth control
"I had the nexplanon implant inserted a week ago. The local anesthetic shot that numbed my arm hurt a bit, but the doctor told me what to expect so it wasn't too bad. I didn't feel the insertion of the implant. I had it inserted when I was on day 4 of my period (very light) and I came off my cycle normally and haven't bled since! I was on the pill for 6 years and I'm hoping over time my periods will decrease. Side effects are different for every individual person. The worst thing that could happen is to HATE it, and then just have it removed and resort back to the pill. It's worth a shot!"
