birth control
"I got the Nexplanon placed in January (3 months ago). The first two weeks, I bleed extremely heavy. So heavy I would bleed through a tampon and a pad within two hours. Which my doctor said was very normal for this BC. I have been on almost every BC and there are positive and negative thinking this one. I truly forgot about it being in my arm, but the non stop bleeding for me was the worse thing. I would bleed like a normal period for 7-10 days, heavy (which I have never in 27 years of life had a heavy period).  Then I would spot for a few days, stop for two days, and start bleeding heavy again. I also notice if I tried to have sex in the small window of no bleeding I would start bleed right after intercourse."
