Etonogestrel
birth control
"I had nexplanon inserted in Dec 2015 & it's still there. They numbed the area before inserting it. The area was sore for a couple of days after having it inserted, but the pain wasn't too terrible. The bruise was ugly & large, but after it healed I'm left with a tiny little scary at the point of insertion that's barely noticeable. My super painful period cramps stopped because I haven't had a period since I've had nexplanon. I didn't experience mood swings or bad skin. I feel more even keel with my emotions since being on it, no PMS. All in all a fantastic experience so far as opposed to my prior Mirena IUD birth control that became lodged into the side of my cervix and had to be surgically removed. I recommend Nexplanon!"
