Etonogestrel
birth control
"I got Nexplanon in Sept 2014 and I bled everyday for three months. When I went to the doctor about it, she just gave me a low dose birth control to take everyday while still having the Nexplanon in and it stopped the bleeding almost instantly. When I ran out (she only gave me two months worth), I started bleeding again for one month straight and in these past two months, I haven't bled at all! Super effective and definitely worth the wait. Luckily my boyfriend isn't creeped out about period sex. It is pretty annoying but it's better than getting pregnant! Other than that I haven't had any other side effects and I love it! The reason I gave it the 7 was because of how annoying the elongated periods are"
