birth control
"I have had my nexplanon implant for 5 months now and absolutely love it. I first tried getting an IUD but unfortunately ran into complications because my cervix was too narrow. I then opted to get the nexplanon implant and unlike my IUD experience, it was almost completely painless - just a pinch. With getting the nexplanon, I had a few concerns: 1. That my acne would come back (my birth control pills greatly controlled my acne) 2. That I wouldn't stop spotting. At the beginning, I only spotted for 2-3 weeks. After a month, I would get monthly very very light periods (3 days) and after 3 months, I lost my period. I get slight mood swings but no acne or weight gain. The only annoying thing now is that I have to take pregnancy tests."
