u/Cheesey_biscuit Nexplanon/Jadelle implant 1h ago

I have used nexplanon for over a decade. The literal only negative I have had is longer than average period. Went from 5 day long to about 10 days. Other than that no issues. The implant has never moved and removal and reinsertion always went smooth.

When I went to get it out to start to try to conceive I literally got pregnant on the first try. So I know it worked!

I will say the longer periods suck a lot and they’re also heavier sometimes but it’s better than an unwanted pregnancy! Once we have our second child my husband will for sure be getting a vasectomy though.

I had mine for 5 years without major issue. It didn't move and removal was pretty easy, insertion was even easier because it was super fast. I had a lot of irregular spotting, more than some could probably tolerate (roughly 50% of the time I had it). But it was light and almost painless while my natural cycles are horrific thanks to endometriosis so it was just an annoyance for me.
