"I got the Nexplanon implant in August 2015 due to having extreme menstrual cramps and was desperate for a remedy. I have to say, it has worked for me well in that regard. No nausea, vomiting, crawling around on the floor for 2 days begging for the pain to stop as I had done for several years prior. The tradeoff, however, is that I have been bleeding from around end of September 2015 to now. Because of other health issues, I am limited in choosing other methods but I can't bleed like this forever! No other side effects except the occasional twinge of pain at the insertion site. Now I'm really weighing my options to have it removed and risk the return of the godawful cramps that brought me to the decision, or no cramps but bleed out."
