birth control
"I got my nexplanon implant on 12/31/14. Today is 7/24/15. My first to "periods" we're super short and super light. Then on the 3rd period I got (what I like to call) "self destructive uterus and razor blade nipple" syndrome. The worst cramps of my life. It hurt and bled like someone was performing major surgery with a spoon inside of my uterus. I bled THROUGH 3 super plus tampons each day for 3 days, the period continued for a total of 9 days, took 2 days off and then I had a week long spotty-period. Just to have 1 week off, then start the process all over again. I'm currently going through my 4th "cycle" of this nonsense. Also, I'm extremely active (have trained for and completed 2 half marathons in the past 8 months) and gained 30 lbs."
