birth control
"I've had the Nexplanon insert since September 17, 2013. I just started what I think is my period. Before birth control I had a regular period that was extremely heavy. I have been spotting since yesterday but it is on schedule for my cycle. I've had slight cramping but nothing out of the ordinary associated with that. Other than that, I had the usual bruising at insertion site and it itches like crazy at night. However the pros of not having to worry about a pill, patch, or shot makes it worth while. I have an extremely clear face and got my first bump ever last week, but with a little TLC it went away. I love it so far and haven't noticed any weight gain or change in appetite. Looking forward to the rest of these 3 years!"
