"I got the nexplanon implant because my periods would come with extreme cramps that put me down for 4-5 days. I would sleep all the time and couldn't help but to cry because I was in so much pain. So, my OB suggested a birth control and I heard really bad things about the depo shot so I didn't want that & I hadn't heard anything bad about the implant. So I went with it rather than the shot. 

I had the implant for three months. In the time that I had it, I had nothing but horrific migraines, cramping and I bled for 3 weeks, stopped for 6 days, & now I've been bleeding for 30 days. I've had a headache since 2-1-16. I am an emotional wreck. I cry at the stupidest things and I get upset over nothing. I highly recommend not getting this implant."
