I had the Nexplanon arm implant and I bled EVERY DAY for 4 months. My OB just said to keep waiting and it would taper off but I couldn’t do it anymore. Didn’t have any sex and was miserable.
I didn’t have any horror stories with my nexplanon. I loved it and had it for over 2 years. Every person is different and their bodies are different. I feel like you never know what’s going to happen until you do it. Do your research and talk to your OB or doctor.
@V i’ve heard a lot of stories like this ☝️
@V Oouu girl I had this!!! But I tried to keep mines in & kept saying it’ll end up stopping .. I bled for 9 months straight! And it was heavy bleed! I was buying pads and tampons every other week .
@Miracle OMG glad I decided to opt out when I did.. I can’t imagine 5 more months of that 😳
@V girl no fr . I was so sick and miserable . My ex kept thinking I was lying about bleeding 🤣 like okay hold on let me show you!
I used Nexplanon for 9 years (switching to a new one every 3 years) . I only got a period for a couple of weeks each time I changed the implant, so 3 times in 9 years and didn’t went through any hormonal issues. Doesn’t hurt, i liked it. Now, I don’t need it anymore.
I had nexplanon and it worked but it caused optic nerve swelling I had to have it removed
There’s women saying they got a brain tumor from Nexplanon, personally I hated it. Didn’t bleed for 3 years and when I did it was BLACK AND GROSS for a whole month. TMI but I just hated it.
If you're considering an IUD, id suggest Kyleena. Or skyla ( low dose IUD).... Or as long as you're not allergic to copper, paragard
Maybe try the non hormonal one first. Everyone is different but I had reactions to different hormonal birth control
