Etonogestrel
birth control
"I've had Nexplanon since 2011, and I love it! I haven't had any major problems from the implant.



Pros:

Most effective contraceptive

I don't have to worry about taking it (for ~3 years)



Cons:

I get ovarian cysts from time to time that can be bothersome, but they always regress on their own.

Irregular periods. I never know when I will get my period. Sometimes I won't have it for months at a time, but not knowing when I might get my period doesn't bother me much. I just keep a tampon in my purse.



I highly recommend Nexplanon and will be getting my 3rd put in next year when it's time to remove this one."
