Just got my fifth implanon nxt (nexplanon) earlier this month and I’m still really happy with it. Gave me my life back as it deals with my very heavy periods.
I just got my fifth one earlier this month. I use it for not getting my period (which was very heavy bleeding and clotting for two weeks on two weeks off) and with the implanon, I don’t bleed for about 1,5 to 2 years. I just get it replaced after I do start bleeding. It’s really gotten me my life back.
I did have one a little more negative experience in between all the positive ones as the third one decided to travel a little deeper in my arm and had to be removed at the hospital with a pretty big (about 3cm length) scar at the end. But I rather have a scar than my periods back.
I am on blood thinners for a neurological condition, but the change this month went incredibly smoothly with hardly any bleeding and almost no bruising (i get a bruise as soon as my cat puts his weight on one paw while resting that paw on my body, so i really bruise easily). It’s great! Was back at the gym three days after the change for arm day and didn’t feel anything.
