Nexplanon
birth control
"Okay: If you've been on birth control (pill version) and you've skipped your placebos and have had no period for a while + getting an IUD seems too invasive/ the possible risks are not worth it- this is the method for you. I've been on birth control for many years and I decided to switch methods because of the political climate. I was super worried that I'd spot on Nexplanon because that seemed to be the main problem with this method. However, I believe that because I had already been skipping my placebo pills, Nexplanon didn't cause any spotting of any kind. Honestly, besides mild soreness for the first 5-7 days (I mean you're having a rod inserted in your arm), it's been absolutely fantastic. Now I don't have to remind myself of the pill."
