"Got Nexplanon in July 2015, procedure was super simple. Got a shot of lidocaine in the arm and it was over in 30s. Getting blood drawn hurts more. Had a nice bruise on my inner arm for about 10 days. My cycles are (were) unpredictable, so I had it done on a random day instead of in the middle of my period like they recommend. I had 2 weeks go by, got my period. Period lasted 2 weeks. Stopped for a week, then I spotted for 3 more weeks. Haven't had anything resembling a period in 6 mos. Mood is levelled out, the light acne I'd get on my face has been absent. No weight gain, but I do work out almost daily. No sensory irritation. Sex drive hasn't changed. Don't let the other reviews scare you. Try letting your body adjust before removal. 10/10"
