I had nexplanon for 12 years in total before deciding to try for a baby. I had about 4 months to start of really heavy almost contuous bleeding. And then nothing. No period for 12 years. Heaven.
When I had it removed to try for a baby, I got pregnant within 2 months. I can't recommend the implant enough. It's so liberating to just forget about the risk of pregnancy and have fun.
I got nexplanon 1 month ago and am really happy that I did. I have had a regular period (6 days for me) but lighter than I used to have. I needed extra numbing and the numbing injection and first 2 days of healing were the most painful parts for me. My arm still gets itchy sometimes but from what I've read this usually goes away after the first few months. I chose this because feelings if depression made me forget my pills too often and nexplanon has lower hormones than the pills I was taking.
I love that you’re doing videos on individual birth control options. May I request a video about the process of a tubal ligation? I’m getting one in January and I’m terrified bc I’ve never had surgery before. Would love a video on the pre-op, and how the doctors do the procedure.
I’m glad my period was already light and only lasted about 3 days before being on this but now I’m on my 2nd nexplanon and it’s even lighter but seems to last about 5 days, which is okay with me.
My periods are still really heavy and I’ve had it for about a year now, is this normal? I never miss my period on the implant either
I just got mine implanted and the procedure was much easier than I expected!! the numbing made it painless :)
I got my implant put in ,in 2019 and remove in 2023. My first year I had my period regularly and now in my second year starting I haven't gotten a period till this very day. I also noticed some weight gain. Besides that it's a great birth control and actually works. My husband and I have unprotected sex only and I haven't gotten pregnant yet.
For good 8months now i have not seen my blood
Hello may ask if you get inplant now how many days it is safe to have unprotected sex
@@debstor6599 you have to wait 7 days after the insertion of the implant. Wait a couple of days more just to be extra sure.
One question, how long does the me plan on implant last ? I’ve heard it was up to 5 years ?
@@llajairacetino6276 The nexplanon implant specifically lasts 4 years. Other implants I wouldn't be able to say how long they last.
I've had now 3 of these and I love them! I actually no longer even get a period at all or any period symptoms so it's saved me a ton of money. The only issue was I just had my 2nd removed and replaced, the Dr who did this one put it in too deep and I had to have it more invasively removed and it was painful of course. But, that's more human error than the implant. My husband and I love it because it's completely effective and the whole no period thing is just a bonus lol.
So do you gain weight?
At first I was really skeptical about taking nexplanon because I was just totally against birth control in general. But the hospital staff kept stressing me out about being on birth control after my twins. In the beginning I was spotting and it was annoying but now I feel like it’s making me gain so much weight. I want it out ASAP!
Thank you! This is likely what I will get (my doctor suggested and gave me info on it).
I’m on it right now and honestly don’t mind it!
My daughter has an implant almost 2 years, before that took the pill. Since having the implant she has gained alot of weight, severe mood swings, depressed, sweating alot, lacks motivation and always feels tired. She is going to have it removed and will opt for non hormonal contraception like copper iud.
This is the route I’m thinking of taking because I’m having the same symptoms, plus arm pain where the implant is
People say I'm crazy but I have gained 77lbs since being on my nexplanon and bringing up to the doctor all I get told is its not possible...... and I can't lose the weight and I've never gained weight like that and never had a problem losing it... I love my nexplanon but its stressful when your doctor just tells you that its not from your bc but you haven't had issues until getting on it if that makes since.....
I am so sorry! I think getting another opinion and feeling heard are always a good idea if you feel that someone isn't hearing you!
Dude same I gained 20 pounds with so much anxiety that it was giving me . I said fuck this , I got it removed today .
You are not crazy! Because I have been on the Both IUDs, birth control pills, and non of them made me gain weight, but I did have horrible affects from them. . . But once I decided to get on the implant, my weight just shifted. I have been on it for 9 months, and I’ve gain 20 pounds, and I maintain between 1300-1500 calories count daily, and I work out at OrangeTheory gym 2-3 times a week, I drink lots of water, and I keep gaining weight, the more I work hard to lose it, my body is just gaining weight, I’m coming to the conclusion is has to be the birth control, I was 160 and now I’m 180, I’m having so much anxiety with this weight gain. If someone doesn’t care about gaining weight then this is the BEST birth control method, because that’s the only complaint I have the implant. . . But I care about my weight too much! I can’t wait to be 160LBS again 😫
I have had my for almost the whole 3 years now and it’s amazing. Much better than pills, for me of course because everyone’s body is different. It completely stopped my period for about a year and a half
Yay, glad it is working for you!
Wish it stops mine too
I've had my nexplinon for 4 years I keep calling and asking if I need a new one. My provider says my date isn't till August of next year because the studies show it's good for up to five years. It's worked great for me!
YEA I was told the same thing I've had it for almost 4 years
My doctor said to use it only for 4 years then to replace it or removal.
NO. My OBGYN told me it's proven for only THREE years. The studies mean nothing till they come out and say it's PROVEN. Get a new one asap!
Thank you for this video! Super informative and makes me wish you were my OB/GYN. My PCP set me up with a Nexplanon a few years back and I ended up bleeding for over a month straight! When I called with concerns she just said it was a 'normal side effect' and offered no solutions despite my concerns that I was feeling weak & finding it harder to complete some more physical aspects of my job. Needless to say, she is not my doctor anymore. However, my periods did normalize and I'm on my second implant. Super great option if you don't want bother with pills everyday!
Agree! I am glad it worked out but sorry it went the way it did!
I have Nexplanon. I wish i knew more about it before making the decision of having it. Bleeding for months, weight gain like crazy and can't "shake it" off. I have to take combined pill to regulate my periods. My friend has no period at all. So ... it doesn't work for me. Before the implant I was prescribed combined pill, a decade, and had no issue. Hard to find a doctor to take this implant out with this Covid situation :(
Great Doc. Thank you! I have been using it for 2 years!
I’ve had my nexplanon for about two years now! How do you know if it’s in too deep.... I can 100% feel it but it doesn’t necessarily “poke” out of my skin when I “move it” around if that makes sense. Is this normal? I’m so worried about getting it taken out. I fear it’ll be in too deep?
I really think the weight gain from ANY birth control is likely due to the time in women’s life when they start it, I.e. teenagers or young adults. I have gained weight since starting the pill at 19. Of course I don’t weigh the same as when I was a teenager! I’m a full grown woman now at 25 and my body reflects that. I’m trying to lose a little weight and tone up, and a clean diet and consistent exercise has legitimately worked for me exactly like it’s supposed to. (disclaimer: I have endometriosis, but not PCOS or other health issues that would cause me to gain weight or struggle to lose it.)
I’m getting mine tomorrow and honestly I’m scared of the irregular bleeding but oh well🤷🏻♀️ if I don’t try it I’ll never know if it works for me. Hopefully it completely stop my period
im getting mine removed on wednesday and i can’t wait to lose weight! ive gained so much it’s insane. best wishes to you though ❤️
What about acne? Since it can possibly increased your androgen levels. How common is it for people to have hormonal acne flares with Nexplanon?
Ive got bleeding now for a month had it in since april but on plus side no weight gain i gained more on depo bleeding is light i was told to expect this
I do have a question because I have nexplanon. Has there EVER been a case where a woman got pregnant but the implant was inserted correctly, it was not bent, or broken?
Very educational and straight forward, thank you!
I have this and love it! No problems. But, they couldn’t get my arm to numb at all, and I had an extra dose of the numbing medicine
Ugh that is the worst! have you had similar issues with lidocaine elsewhere?
I had the same issue. But I knew from previous experiences that I needed higher amounts of numbing so I just had to keep telling my doctor to keep injecting it until I didn't feel pain anymore.
@@DrJenniferLincoln yes, I’m a redhead and don’t react to many medicines for numbing (novocaine and lidocaine) as well as anesthesia 😂
@@d.c.1851 they wouldn’t give me more. What they ended up doing is putting this freezing liquid on it... idk they made my arm super cold and that helped. But I made my favorite nurse come in and hold my hand, she was so supportive
I don't have no period and I am so happy with my nexplanon 😍😍is acne common? My ance getting bad but no periods yay
one complaint i have is the bruising you get the first couple of weeks you have it (other than that I love mine!)
I just got mine in today. My OBGYN says since I did well with depo for 4 years that I should be okay with Nexplanon. I have endometriosis and I NEED birth control that stops my periods all together. I'm hoping this works like the depo and I won't have periods for another 3 years.
How has it been treating you ?
I have endometriosis too and I’d love to know how you’re doing now!
I also went straight from Depo to Nexplanon. Still zero bleeding, I'm very happy with it.
Also, I’ve noticed that my nexplanon makes me crave sweets more.
I’ve noticed I crave everything terrible to eat more. Sweets, fast food, take out ect. I feel like my body is tricking me to thinking I’m pregnant and that I need to eat a lot
Same! And I was already a sweets person so it's way worse now!
@@katelynloya3644 same!! I gained 28 pounds on it in 8 months! I got it out today
That explains the weight gain lol
Thanks for this inspiration 💜 Creativity shouldn’t stop with becoming a parent, thats when life really opens up and we can gain deeper understanding about ourselves, and mysterious existence itself! This is stuff I’m exploring on my channel with a DIY reality show UV:TV- about being a musician and mother during Covid :) Thanks so much
I had my implant inserted after a week of conceiving,and it still in my arm for six years since now.And i am curious because i have had unsafe sex lately?
I had my don on 2018 . I gained so much 😢. The first year it wasn’t so bad just spotting . But then i was on my month like 2 times a week and very heavy. But this week I’m going to have it removed.
Do i possibly get pregnant 5days after the insertion?? Hope you help me
I am really considering switching from the pill to this, but am worried about the weight gain. Can I expect a similar amount of weight gain from the pill and nexplanon?
Wish my gyno was as nice as you she can be a little brash at times if you ask too many questions
Hi! I have a question!! Please answer if you can! The first time I had the nexoplanon, it was AMAZING. No periods, and I just felt SO safe. But when it expired and I got the second nexoplanon inserted, the second one was HORRIBLE. I had a period for a year straight, tried the pills, and still wouldn’t stop bleeding. I finally just took it out and switched to pills, which also sucked, so now im just using condoms. I wonder why the first nexoplanon was amazing, but why was the second one horrible??
I am not sure! It's worth discussing with your doctor to make sure other causes of bleeding are being evaluated too. Good luck!
With my implant I gain up to 25kg in 2yrs, I was everything right, omad and exercise 5x a week, and I still keep gain weight… it’s annoying!!!
Did I mention I didn’t hv my period for over a year!! Just 2 days spotting once in 4 months… I am taking it out..
i have a question, if nexplanon prevents ovulation how are periods possible? i’m having periods similar to normal and scared i’m ovulating is this possible?
It's not a true period bleed - think of it as bleeding because of unstable uterine lining and not from the withdrawal of our own normal hormone fluctuations. Hope that helps!
@@DrJenniferLincoln would the bleeding still cause horrible pains associated with endometriosis? That's the main reason I use progesterone only birth control. I used depo for 4 years and zero periods
I’ve had my Nexplanon in for almost 10 years. I’ve been with the same partner and haven’t gotten pregnant. I’m going to get it removed this week. Do you think leaving it in that long could cause problems now that we want to conceive?
This will be my 4th time getting my implant. I've been on for almost 12 years. I'm concerned about the space left on my arm. How far uo can the implant be placed? Can it be inserted in a spot it's been in previously? I hope I make sense
Yes, can be inserted in same area!
Planned parenthood told me it lasts for 5 years when I went for a removal and another implant
I’ve been getting reoccurring BV and UTI in the 3rd year of my nexplanon out of nowhere. Can nexplanon cause this?
I currently have nexplanon! My doctor recommended taking the pill with it as well because I originally experienced random bleeding. Nothing heavy but it was irregular. I haven’t had any weird issues taking both but I wanted to see if this causes any weird issues like decreased effectiveness? I’m just scared taking both but the pill has really been helping with the irregular bleeding.
Are you having irregular periods weekly or?
I have the same question!!
No change in effectiveness!
I really do think I’ve gained some weight being on the Nexplanon. It came on I work out eat healthy it never sheds however, I never experienced that on the pill Tri-Sprintec. My periods have also been insane 2years and 8months on the Nexplanon.
I’m a huge fan of you Jennifer. 😀
Great info!!!! I’ve been trying to do some research on the BC patch as well, so any videos and advice on that would be well appreciated as well. Also on how/if BC interferes with other prescribed medications. Thanks so much for your videos and the realistic info!
I’ve had Nexplanon for about 4 years now and yes it’s supposed to last 3 but I read it can last till 5 the only reason I haven’t gotten it removed is because I don’t have insurance I hate this thing!!! In the beginning it’s amazing my period completely went away for the first 2 years after that year my period come back only to last for about 2 months each cycle it’s draining!!!
I have questions about Nexplanon: I’ve had it for years then got off for a year or two. I’ve gotten back on it. This most recent time I’ve been bleeding for months. I told my gynecologist about it and she told me it was normal. (You said this also) She ran scans on me (in August) and told me I hardly had uterine lining and should stop. I haven’t. I’ve started having bad abnormal pain and feel woozy a lot. I don’t know what to tell her at my next appointment. I didn’t have any of this my first time and I’m honestly scared and uncomfortable at this point.
You should definitely tell her what's happening. I would suggest you take her advice and stop using if if that's what she recommended. You could end up getting yourself into more issues then you bargained for.
@@jjjlove2260 I went to a new one. She sorta got mad my other dr did nothing and prescribed me Estrogen and said it should stop it
@@sugarrshay6972 okay. Hope it all works out for you
I feel like my nexplanon is causing me to gain weight. I’ve had two kids and this is my first time ever being on birth control and my weight fluctuates 5-10 pounds every month... I’ve never experienced this before.
Chat with your doc!
@@DrJenniferLincoln so I want to get it but I don’t want my mom to find out lol but they told me the insurance papers get sent to the mail and to her gmail. Do you know what the statements will say exactly ?
I feel the same way if making me gain a lot of weight and I be having crazy cravings. I want it out fast.
Is this a good option for someone suffering from pcos ? Thanks .
no
Okay I have a question that's never really occurred to me. How does it release the progestin? Or whatever? I have my old "stick" in a pee cup and there is no holes or anywhere for it to release the special anti babies goo... so does it leach through or like how? By the way I've had mine for like 12 years and absolutely love it and basically never get a period. Just always thought it had a hole or something for it to release.
i got nexplanon about 4 months ago and i was expecting some spotting or irregular bleeding. however, i was bleeding almost everyday for the first two months. i'd describe the bleeding to be more like a light period then spotting. after those two months, there was no bleeding for about a month then it started again for another 10 weeks or so. should i be worried? my major concern is that it's more blood than i anticipated and i expected it to be a few days each month, not almost everyday. please help
If it’s just spotting blood or not heavy it means u are fine, unless u do a FBC or u notice that u are anaemic like dizziness, pale hands and conjunctiva, headache, hypotension then u can talk to your doc and have it removed. Good luck
I just had a baby and took nexplanon in my fifth weeks of pregnancy now I’m bleeding very heavy is this normal ?
I loved everything I heard about nexplanon before getting one inserted. 6 months in I have decided that the cons outweigh the pros- my period is gone (GREAT) but now I have no desire for sec. After my removal appointment I was left with a swollen arm and the implant STILL IN! I feel very frustrated.. I really don’t want to have surgery to get It removed. Could they try removing it again before referring me to something so drastic? Any advice?
Can you be on nexplanon and the pill? I used to do that with my mirena until my period went away. I gained a lot of weight. I’m bad at remembering a pill though. So I wanted a built in back up method as I travel way too much.
if you already have an irregular period, how would it effect your period?
Everyone it’s different you won’t know for sure until you get it. But for me it made me not spot or bleed at all for the whole time I’ve had it
I get ocular migraines and have been told that I can't use estrogen BC. Does Nexplanon use estrogen?
No, its progesterone based.
How fast does it start work once when it’s in your arm?
I love the Nexplanon. Personally I have not had a menstrual cycle in 2 years, no bleeding or spotting and I haven't had any side effects. The one thing that I found is that although I have not gained weight, I haven't been able to lose any. With diet and exercise I have only lost a few pounds.
i got my nexplanon 2 weeks ago and i haven’t experienced spotting or bleeding. is this normal?
You’re so informative and educational. Love your content. You should collab with Mama Doctor Jones here on UA-cam!
She is in a whole other UA-cam league!! thanks for the kind words :)
Hey! I had implanon for 7 months until i started getting acne and since i got this implant i had bled every day, i also gained 6kg since i got it.
I got it removed almost a month ago and I'm still gaining weight, is that normal? I have hypotirodism but it's controlled :)
On my 3rd year I had a period for 6 months straight…!!! Yes it’s keeping a baby away but it also makes me bleed so often that it also keep sex away… I just deal with it bc I don’t want more kids BUT I’ve literally cried so many days bc of this birth control 😩
So if i got my implant in and im on my period light bleeding is it still the same or can you get pregnant?
This might sound like a very silly question but can you exercise as normal, particularly with arm exercises or weights? Will it shift if you sleep on your arm where it was inserted or when you exercise?
Not silly and you can do all of those! No shifting from sleeping etc.
This is my 3 yr and i skipped my period last month and havent got it this month i am getting the nexplanon remove this week cause it time already but can i be pregnant if i never skip my period and now i i have skipped
Hi am on arm implant birth control but am taking maca root and fenugreek is it gonna cancel birth control 🙃
Hi Dr Lincoln, how long until I should remove the bandages
can a woman get pregnant after the implant has expired for 3 years and two months
I am not on any birth control and normally have irregular periods. I have spotting as my period for the month or I just skip bleeding for months. Sometimes once in a blue moon I get a regular period. When you get spotting a with this insert, does it happen for a week like a normal period because I don’t mind that. It’s what I have now. Or does it occur irregularly through out the whole month and not in a controlled week period of time?
Is it okay to get nexplanon as the first birth control? I heard it is recommended not to get it as the first
I got nexplanon as my 1st after having my child. They told me its one of the best options
Ive had nexplanon for almost 6 years(this is my second one) and need to change it in April. However, Ive started getting regular periods every month for about 5 months as well, when that hasnt happened in the past. Is this a sign it’s wearing off? Ive felt around and its still in the same spot, and Im not due for my appointment until April!
I have had spotting every once in a while the whole time, but never a full period until last year.
How does bleeding occur if Ovulation doesn’t?
The hormonal fluctuations can still affect the lining of the uterus, which can still slough off and bleed
I have the nexplanon I’ve had it since June and haven’t bled since the second week I had it!
But I’ve also gained 30lbs since then
@@charleymyers2360 30?!?!ISNJSJ what :(
@@user-ep3co2pc8b yes it’s insane but I still have it cause the weight gain stopped

I know I’m one month late, but girl how do you feel now 30 days later ??
@@rachaelh2585 hey girl! i feel good! it has helped my anxiety TREMENDOUSLY. i’m also not as depressed, i find myself genuinely happy. sadly i’m still bleeding. i got my period an hour before i left for my appointment, and i’ve been spotting since then. but that’s pretty much the only down side. and the blood is not bad at all! very light, brown, spotting like. but it’s a regular side effect!
@@rachaelh2585 also, my arm healed and now i make peopl touch it lmao!! but yeah i 10/10 recommend if you don’t mind a little blood, BUT it’s different for everyone, you could get it and not bleed at all! regardless, you can get it removed whenever.
Hi, love your content you make it easy for women and men to understand, can I go in a steam room with it?
I just got nexplanon. Still healing.
How are you doing with it now if you don’t mind my asking?

@@cydneygriffin2059 same here. :)
@@cydneygriffin2059 hi, if you're ok with me asking. Are you still good? Looking into this but I've only heard scary things about it.
@@tailsstyles2951 ok so an update I’ll be a month in on April 22 so far my period was really weird like I spotted for some days and now I’m on period but it’s very light and I did have pretty bad cramps but everything else is normal. I will also say my libido is a lot lower
I have a question that needs to be answered please. So I got mine 2 years and 3 months ago. I started my period March 13-14 2021. What does this mean? Throughout my whole experience, I didn’t have my period throughout the 2 years and I’m starting out of no where. I get mine removed October 9th . But my period is starting early.
I heard it’s because as the years go by the hormones in the implant decrease just enough to kick start your period again. The implant is still effective against pregnancy though.
Part of its side effects is irregular menstrual bleeding, it might be amenorrhea, or oligo, and it can fluctuate, so you are fine
I am this kind of birth control and am diabetic as will but the last couple of months my period would last up too two weeks and stop maybe a day and it’ll keep bleeding what do I do?.
See my other YT on nexplanon where I talk about bleeding issues!
They put my nexplanon in the day after I gave birth and put it in the back of my arm instead of the front, is that normal?
Mines in my tricep
Do you believe that certain foods can help end your period faster? I’ve been on for weeks and it’s been an actual period. Not spotting
Unfortunately we don't have any foods that have been proven to do that!
I’m 21, never been to an obgyn, want to go on b.c. but afraid of pills bc of experimenting with different ones (I’ve seen some crazy things) and I just don’t think I’ll remember to take a pill. The nexplanon only freaks me out bc I’d be able to feel it which ik ur supposed to but does anyone find that a weird feeling? And does it hurt to take out? Love your channel and your tik toks!
is it normal to have an implant and still get your monthlys now and again but it's not spotting i.ts a constant flow for more than a month ?
Not normal, see your Dr pls
My peroid is stop, i m worry, plz tell me its a normal to stop a period.
Yes it is. I’ve had it for two years and your period slowly disappears!
@@AndreaOsorto do you still get period symptoms even if you dont get ur period?
Hi doctor
I got nexaplanon two weeks, I'm noticing symptoms of ovulation, I'm concerned it's not working.
If some reason Im ovulating, will the fact it will thicken my cervical mucus and thin the lining, be enough to keep me safe.
I'm feeling paranoid about this, so I'm talking my mini pill with it and using condoms.
I feel stressed :(
Is it possible I could experience symptom of ovulation and but not actually be ovulating. I'm confused :(
Lol i got told that the shot or the implant is good with weight gain....
(I struggle with gaining weight and I’m a little under weight) so I choose to get the implant since I heard it can cause weight gain and you don’t have to do anything for the next 3 years
did you gain any weight?
I gained way too much weight…
Had mine for 1.5 yrs
:(((
why place it in ur biceps area?
Heyyyy I was fine for 8 months. No blood for 5 months! Now I’m bleeding daily, my cramps are going back to being really painful, my head hurts a lot and I have acne that’s not going away 😐
If u are not bleeding heavily then it’s okay, unless u are loosing a lot of blood, and acne is one of its side effects and headache too, for the cramp o don’t know about but it will hopefully stop too, if the bleeding passed 15 days I think u should inform your O and G doc. Good luck
@@asisinmama6275 oh it has and thank you.
Can you talk about combination pills and a possible link to cancer?
I had neplanon and i was pregnant so neplanon is not good for all women
I’ve been on my period for 10 months is there like anything I can do besides removing it
Hi there, someone in my life got the implant over a year ago and bleeds near constantly and hasn't had an appointment since, is that something to be concerned about?
Irregular bleeding is a common side effect and a common reason people have the nexplanon removed - if it doesn't bother them it is OK but always worth reviewing with their doctor that something else isn't wrong!
What about breastfeeding?! Will it stop my milk supply??
Is it possible to get pregnant while there is an implanon?
There's always a chance as nothing is 100%, but the nexplanon is pretty darn close to that!
does st. john’s wort affect it?
I heard it does but I’m not 100% sure
so do u feel sick evey moring with it but not prego can that happend ?
If you are new to this birth control yes at the beginning at cause nauseous, happened to me after 2-3 months everything will come back normal and you will have your good appetite.
All birth control like that we have to give some times to our body to adjust that birth control at least three months I have experience with different birth controls so I know 😊
Hi there I'm 15 , just had the implant a day ago , I've seen some bad reviews and some good ones , is there anything I should be extremely worried about ? As due to some of these reviews I'm shitting myself
No! Don’t let the internet scare you. Stick with reliable info from trusted sources and if ever you have concerns, chat with your doc! You got this 👏
How about the Implanon?
The nexplanon is the implanon but with a radio opaque component so we can now see it on imaging. Same medicine!
I have nexplanon, but I’m still TERRIFIED of getting pregnant. But when I was having sex with this guy, he told me he came inside of me later in the day. I never took plan B. But my period isn’t late, I just haven’t had it yet. I’m so scared
Were you pregnant?
@@insiginaclan6578 no, thank GOD. It eventually did come by I took a lot of pregnancy tests and it all ended up okay. I’ve since been a lot more comfortable with cream pies
Can this help with mentrual cramps ?
im curious about this too... i take the pill for cramps but i forget to take it at the right time and i just want something i can forget about
@@kellinnormal1286 So I’ve been doing research and I am going to get Nexplanon. Only it says it can help with cramps and i’m willing to take that chance because taking a pill everyday is not something that it suitable for me!
It can!
Hi, I had really bad cramps in my stomach and in my rear.. so yeah they were really bad and I got on nexplanon and it has helped really! Random days I have spotting but it’s only a little bit so it’s okay
@@lillysky6367 OH YAY!! that makes me feel so much better
