"I got Nexplanon inserted after giving birth to my son and have had it for 3 months. Right away I had terrible headaches that lasted about a week. I got off my period the day before insertion and the day after insertion I started heavy bleeding again for 2 weeks, then spotting which lasted 4 weeks straight. Some days heavy enough to wear a light tampon & others light enough for just a pantyliner but it was nonstop. The spotting isn't so bad & has gotten lighter. I have lost all baby weight. I am slender & normally energetic with a big appetite but now I hardly eat & have no energy (possibly because I'm a new mom) but my worst symptom is that I am extremely moody! I am waiting 6 months before I take it out."
