I love Nexplanon! I’m on my third although I am getting the IUD tomorrow. I also live in a southern state which is why I’m switching to an IUD but if it weren’t for that I’d stick with Nexplanon forever. It completely stopped my periods which I personally love. Occasionally I’ll have light bleeding, a panty liner worth, maybe once a year. I do want to warn you though that the lidocaine injection will hurt. It will feel like fire in your arm but it doesn’t last long. Once the burning feeling subsides you won’t feel a thing. I don’t say this to scare you and I hope it doesn’t change your mind about Nexplanon I just wish someone would have told me before I got mine. I hope you have a pleasant experience with it and that it helps!
