Etonogestrel
birth control
"Looking at other reviews, mine won't be much different. I compared Nexplanon with the other options and knew there would be a chance that I'd be bleeding a lot. I use menstrual cups which are a good option for this, I think (you can have sex while wearing a softcup, which works for me, and the Diva cup is good for the rest of the time). I've bled 124 out of the 240 days I've had Nexplanon, and I'm going to give it a year and some change to see if the periods even out. The info I got said that some people take a full year to adjust, so I'm giving it a shot. The hormone change has been better for me - after a decade on the pill in varying forms, my mood swings are improved, though my cramps are still hellish. Try if you want. Overall? Nah."
