birth control
"I got Nexplanon inserted about 8 weeks after birth, the end of April. I'm breastfeeding, so I had no period within those 8 weeks. The first week of insertion, I had no bleeding whatsoever. Had a minor headache shortly after insertion and had an ugly bruise for a while, but as far as side effects, that was it. The second week on it I started my period. I bled for about 7 days. After that, I was spotting lightly on and off for another week. Since then I have not had any bleeding. I was nervous about getting the implant based on bad reviews, but I'm glad I did. Love it!"
