honestly, 10/10 would recommend! super easy procedure, and i’m SUPER scared of needles. you don’t feel anything at all, and it’s so quick and painless ❤
Just got Nexplanon inserted yesterday!! Insertion was relatively quick and painless. The only thing that was a bit painful was the lidocaine (numbing medicine) they give you. Thank you for making this video, without it I wouldn’t have gotten the implant
I have had nexplanon for 3 times so far a total of 8 years and I love it so much. I do not have issues with acne if anyone was wondering about this being an issue. However when it time for me to change it out my period will stay on until i change it out each time
I love my nexplanon! My periods are irregular now but, for me it’s so worth it. Not stressing about birth control is such a relief as a college student.
I was told I would gain weight and develop acne after getting it. Its been 7 months and I’ve lost 7 lbs and my skin has never been better. The bleeding is so unpredictable, I have to wear pads a lot of the time just in case which got expensive. My period has disappeared now which stresses me out because I prefer to have one come still.
I'm getting the nexplanon in less than a week and scared bc it's the first time in my 21 years of life I'm getting something like this, and this made me feel better! Thank you for the info as well as impeccable timing
Not to scare you but just my experience with the implant. I had the Nexplanon for 3 years (I was 18) and I never got my period in those 3 years. I got mine taken out about a year ago and my period is all over the place.. still a year later. I have a hormone imbalance and it seems impossible to fix. It’s good while it’s in, I never had any problems with it in. My period is just now messed up from taking the hormones out. I get my period for 2 weeks it’s about a week off and then I get it again. I wish I would have never done it. Not trying to scare you out of it cause it does effect everyone differently. Just wanted to share my experience.
@@animallover0323 I agree with this ! Now that I am actually trying to get pregnant it is so hard . I was on it for 1 year and 8 months and I regret it with all of me . I also got it off almost a year ago and my periods are so irregular. I’ve tried everything to fix it and it just seems impossible like you said , it sucks
@@giovannarodriguez3594 Yes! My boyfriend and I have been trying for 6 months and it makes it so much harder for sure! Every doctor I go to wants to put me on the pill to help “regulate” but it won’t help when I stop taking it. Recently just started taking Myo & D-Chiro Inositol supplements to help. Fingers crossed they work!
@@ami9486 I haven’t seen a change as of yet. It probably needs a few months. The only change I see is in my skin and it’s not a good change. My hormonal acne has been getting a lot worse and I might have to go back on the pill to regulate my hormones. Seems like nothing else is helping. I feel defeated.
Watching this after getting it. 😅 Did do my research tho. Got this after having my baby and the only thing that really worried me was the breastfeeding part. The numbing was the worst part, everything else went smoothly. Definitely knew this was it because Im really bad with pills... 😬 And I'm not trying to get a shot every couple of months. 😭 and I think tiktok permanently scared me for life with the IUD :/ I'm not trying to feel that either.
I tried to get the iud a few months back and the doctor could not insert it because my cervix was not cooperating and I was already bleeding and later on for like 2 weeks had tissue coming out from them trying to insert it properly. I was traumatized ever since.
@MS-ny1wv the IUD was recommended to me too, because of fibroid tumors. My obgyn told me that the way she would do it is book an OR and have me completely under while they insert it, because it is really painful. So I chose NEXPLANON as my first choice of treatment.
Dr. Ali, I am thinking about getting the birth control implant next month, I absolutely love that your channel is so informative about the different topics that women deal with on the daily basis. Please keep up the great work💜💗💜💗
The nexplanon works alright for me, had a bit of a rough time with weird periods but my body has adjusted and it's fine. Insertion is numbed first so aside from a sting then a burn its not painful
Readon i asked caused mirena has horrible side effects like a cramping pain all the time and if i having pms symptoms i dont always get periods mine always been abnormal but i start spotting forc1 or 2 days stop then few days later starts again with uncontrollable urged to eat an entire jar of pickles like i cant get enough and rarely crave chocolate i crave pickles more then anything elsed
@@PamLinebaugh42nexplinon is a better choice iuds are the most painful!! I had the kyleena and I wanted to kms Seriosuly. But this one I got after removing my iud it’s way better trust me
Did you have this period after getting the implant??? Or did the implant solve it??? Because it it happened after get it out of you NOW!!!!!!! Personal experience
Just NO... Do the pill instead... Once it messes with your cycle like that it ruins so much and they say that some women's bodies balance it out eventually but I'd you experienced that after getting it out in that is NOT normal .. your body doesn't want it... My body took 3 years to show those symptoms but I am suffering 3 years after getting it taken out.. I was told replacing it would fix these symptoms and it didn't I regret it so much.. please.. for your own good.. get it out and stick to the pill!!!
I’ve had the nexplanon for 2.5 years and it was absolutely horrible. I’ve had my period for months on end. It would stop for a few days and come back. I definitely got the bad acne from it. As a 31 year old, I don’t feel I should be broken out this bad. I think I might have some kind of reaction to it. I’m getting it out tomorrow and I’m so excited to have my body regulate normally again.
I got my implant back in September last year and since then I'm bleeding all the time. My periods are last sometimes 4 weeks. My last period I started 18th December and im still bleeding today. Im having a phone consultation with a Dr near the end of the month. I was told I might have to go on the combined pill to help regulate the bleeding
Personally nexplanon has not been for me, it’s been over a year and I’m trying to switch it out lol but doing research right now, here’s my personal experience for those who are curious, I am taking it out for two main reasons 1) my depression and anxiety symptoms have gotten so much worse 2) my period is no longer regular, I used to have a period every month for 4 days, but now my period is irregular and will go on for up to 2 weeks, come off for one week, come back on for another two, right now I’m at 3 weeks with me period and my mood swings are very annoying to deal with personally, I’ve concluded it’s just messing with my hormones too much and maybe not for me? Anyway I suffered from acne before nexplanon and it has not worsened since, I don’t think it’s impacted my face at all, also I have gained weight since being on it, and I must say, I used to have a small appetite before it, but me and my boyfriend noticed that once I was on the birth control my appetite grew so much, but I’m sure I gained weight from eating greasy food, but know that opening your appetite might be an effect. And I think that’s really all that I’ve noticed, good luck ladies 💕
I was so scared to get this but once I did it's the best thing I've ever did I do bleed unproductively but it's honestly a small price to pay and my periods are no longer painful
I know this is late but if you get it in the first 5 days of your period, it should work immediately. If you get it at any other point in your cycle, it'll take a week to kick in, so you'll need to use another form of birth control for the first week.
Hi I have a question! Sometimes I exercise so have to do strong movements, or have accidentally hit my arm, etc so does the nexplanon not move places ? Like is it safe in keeping you safe always?
I wanted to add i’ve had nexplanon for four years since I was 14 years old and it’s been great, very effective. however i’ve gotten two now and it is clear that I have two scars from it so although it’s not visible if you wear short sleeves or tank tops the scar can be visible
@Shani Sadeh Yes it is??? FourTEEN. You're considered a teenager at thirteen until nineteen, with the last couple years also being considered a legal adult. If you're not a teenager at fourteen, then what DO you consider to be a "teenager"?
The first three years I had nexplanon I was rarely ever bleeding. I got it changed out in January and I’ve been irregular bleeding ever since. Sometimes I’ll bleed every two weeks or every two months. Is that normal?
Do you have chances to be infertile in the future? I’m scared, and I have seconds thoughts. Cause I do want babies in the future. I’m don’t want to have babies at the moment, only in the future.
I’ve actually lost weight on nexplanon and the first few months had the brown spotting then that went away and I only had my period every 4 months or so. Now after a year on it the bleeding has amped up? Idk if it’s because I didn’t bleed for so long it’s just ready to come out. Even after sex it comes back the bleeding?
I’ve always had irregular bleeding on it but I got used to it. Recently though my period has started coming every two weeks. I literally have one week of no bleeding, then a full 7 days 😩 how is that even possible?
Can your bleeding patterns change when you get it switched out? I just got my 4th round of nexplanon for 9+years on it I used not got get one besides near the end of each cycle but I just got one within the 1st 30days of my new one is that normal?
So far with my nexplanon since 16th June n so my period come every month buh it gives me a lot of headache I used to be having 4/5 n one day the doctor give me in medicine for the headache but some times it doesn’t work now so far it cool off buh still ther
Just got mines inputted today and I’m wondering could the dude effects be immediately. I suffer from pressure headaches but have not had none since yesterday it’s been consisted unable to work or function not sure if it’s from the birth control or what. I randomly suffer from migraines but it go away with by medicine
I have had it for 1 1/2 and I love it except the weight gain of 60pounds I have gain. Other than this amazing. I can occasionally get a headache or nauseous and I assume is a side effect. No periods, no cramping, no discomfort. I just wish the weight gain was not as drastic
Hi doctor Ali just got this 3 days ago I’ve had this implant before but this time my arm the area around the implant it feels hot and it stings feel a hard around area and bit of a red rash…. Help!!! Should I have the doctor check it out? Or will it go away
Hello. I had my implant replaced and the following day I had a sharp stinging pain where the implant was. Any simple movement would cause that very sharp pain. I removed it as soon as I could. The doctor believed it was just bruising. I know it was much more than that but I could not get a good answer out of her. Have you seen this before? This surely did not happen the first time I had the implant.
@@krystal6495it got better after a month. I can't feel it poking any more. But I don't get periods any more. My periods were always very light. This has gone to occasional spotting now. And surprisingly, I didn't gain weight too as I was warned of.
Me I being bleeding for 4 months like heavy bleeding I feel super sick this is not fun at all .I hope that goes away soon other wise I will have to take it out
Be super aware of it. I was the same way, and thought I’d let it set for a year. It didn’t do much. I would not have it for months but when I got it, it was heavy and long. I never know when it’s going to come and how heavy it will be. After 2.5 years. I’m getting it out early and I cannot be more excited.
Is it true that if u decide after 3 yrs u still want to continue with the birth control , it will be good for another 2 years (a total of 5 yrs) and all u have to do is continue with it for those remaining 2 yrs?
Hello! This is my 2nd nexplanon insertion and I’ve had it for 2 years now. However, I’ve had quite a few problems with long, irregular bleeding which lasts more than 7 days. It lasts 2 weeks, sometimes more. My OBYGN prescribes me birth control pills, but it feels like it’s not enough. Recently, I just got some lab work done, and my RBC and my hemoglobin is basically normal, but it’s a few counts under. Does anyone know (I’m not assuming it’s Nexplanon, I’m doing more in-depth iron testing today) if Nexplanon causes iron- deficiency anemia? Thank you!
I'm planning on getting Nexplanon in the next few months but I'm worried about the persistent bleeding/spotting symptom that some people have reported experiencing because if I'm constantly bleeding then what would be the point of having it since I wouldn't be having sex while I'm bleeding anyway?
Girl I got it and I bled for like months straight. I went back and my doctor prescribed me pills to balance out the bleeding. Now I don’t have a period at all!
I had the WORST experience with the nexplanon implant. I developed clots in my lungs as a 23 year old non-smoker who weighed 100lbs. (I mention my weight and nonsmoking because those were listed as risk factors for blood clots) I passed out one morning and went to urgent care, where they did a blood test and CT and diagnosed me with pulmonary embolism. When they went to take out the implant, it took 3 different doctors to try and left a scar that sometimes breaks out in hives. 5 years later and I have a toddler. I almost died in labor from blood loss. For the rest of my life, I can never use birth control with hormones (which is 99% of all birth control) AND I will have to inject blood thinners every single day of all my pregnancies. PLEASE do your research ‼️‼️And if you feel like something is wrong, DONT ignore it! The doctor told me that me blacking out like that probably saved my life, because a lot of times PE’s are asymptomatic and aren’t discovered until the autopsy.
I got it and wasn’t informed not to wait to do the deed I did it within 8 hours … my boobs have sore an almost two weeks later and some cramps no bleeding. Or spotting 😮
I have 8 months with mine and my period just disappeared i only get like spottings the day i supposed to have my period but only like 1 or 2 times then is gone
So me and my partner are getting this done for her and I just wanted to clarify cause I can be dumb but we wouldn't need a condom if we get the implant correct?
Could you share the symptoms of the 2nd time of getting the implant? I'm getting my second one in a couple weeks. It never really suppressed my period during my 3 years, had alot of irregular bleeding but I'm fine with it. I've heard some ladies had a worse symptoms the second time around.
I had my iud that was the worst symptoms I had. Then I got the arm implant since I had the iud for years my body was used to the harmones so when I got it nothing changed I was the same as I was with the iud I had a little period but that was it
Bleeding for months isn't what I consider "something that just works" lol. Maybe for some, but certainly not for me. Also my mood is way off. Cant handle this hormone at all sadly. Estrogen or barrier methods for me.
Im having it for almost 2 years and that's the worst decision of my life i have gained 15 kilos I am depressed, I had one and half year bleeding, very bad cramps. At least it was like that for me really really bad. I kinda feel I have lost myself! Until I just said to myself wait wait what the hell is happening with you?!!! I realized the day I inserted that I forgot peace and happiness. Im gonna remove it this week. For sure.
@@929mira well, last month I changed it to IUD I can see the differences so far. My mood is better but not so sure about my weight maybe still soon to say.
@@shiny3507 no I know but my doctor said it wouldn’t cause any weight gain because it didnt have estrogen, which causes weight gain in bc, in it. Ive had it for a week now, maybe its too soon to tell.

I was 8 months into having my 2nd nexplanon when I decided to stop taking oral bc with it, which I was doing all while I had it in order to regulate my cycle. As soon as I stopped taking oral bc I started bleeding, heavily, nonstop. I bled for 135 out of 150 days, long past the time it should have taken for my body to adjust. Finally got it taken out 3 days ago and have sworn off hormonal birth control entirely. Who knows what damage these things are doing long term? I may get a copper IUD in the future but for now I just need a break. My body has been on some sort of hormonal bc for the last 10 years, I can't even remember what it's like to have a normal, natural cycle.
Guys don't get it it's horrible I didn't get my period for a year and when I did I bled for almost 2 months and it would have continued unless I got a shot from the hospital to stop it and this continued after a year its horrible and it makes you fat. I gained 20 pounds and it makes you depressed and your hair falls out
Every woman have different body, my two best friends they have Nexplanon birth control They love it and my cousin have it and she loved it They have zero side effect. 🙂
my ma had bad acne and it actually helped hers go away. i have super sensitive acne prone skin as well but i’m going to give this a shot, i get mine tmrw!
@@jess.16 omg i just saw this! it hurt tbh but that’s cause i’m a baby when it comes to needles. my skin did flare up a bit at the start but my skin is a lot lot clearer now than before
@@angelicaramos8080 If you're planning on getting married, tell him to give you a wedding date. Stay on birth control until the actual wedding night-- other women aren't stupid, people change and I've seen sooooo many guys get someone pregnant and then leave during the fiance stage. Pregnancy and later a kid change EVERYTHING, and most guys won't stick through that with you unless they made a lifelong commitment through marriage -- and even THEN 50% leave. One thing about life: never think you're the exception. Just trust the statistics and improve your odds by getting birth control until he says I do. Trust me.
Have been having light bleeding sometimes dark brown to rusty discharge dark red even having sex with my partner i will bleed and he will complain smelly etc i dont know why this started happening and before i was ok i feel will remove
honestly, 10/10 would recommend! super easy procedure, and i’m SUPER scared of needles. you don’t feel anything at all, and it’s so quick and painless ❤

The doctor believed it was just bruising. I know it was much more than that but I could not get a good answer out of her. Have you seen this before? This surely did not happen the first time I had the implant.
I just got it yesterday and it's really painful for me. I can feel it poking me from inside 😢
@@ruchikallahow does it feel now??
@@krystal6495it got better after a month. I can't feel it poking any more. But I don't get periods any more. My periods were always very light. This has gone to occasional spotting now. And surprisingly, I didn't gain weight too as I was warned of.
Me I being bleeding for 4 months like heavy bleeding I feel super sick this is not fun at all .I hope that goes away soon other wise I will have to take it out
Be super aware of it. I was the same way, and thought I’d let it set for a year. It didn’t do much. I would not have it for months but when I got it, it was heavy and long. I never know when it’s going to come and how heavy it will be. After 2.5 years. I’m getting it out early and I cannot be more excited.
Great breakdown
So nervous because I am planning to go get it tomorrow after I've been thinking about it for 3 months now😭
Is it true that if u decide after 3 yrs u still want to continue with the birth control , it will be good for another 2 years (a total of 5 yrs) and all u have to do is continue with it for those remaining 2 yrs?
Yes I got mine January of this year and it’s good to January of 2027
Hello! This is my 2nd nexplanon insertion and I’ve had it for 2 years now. However, I’ve had quite a few problems with long, irregular bleeding which lasts more than 7 days. It lasts 2 weeks, sometimes more. My OBYGN prescribes me birth control pills, but it feels like it’s not enough. Recently, I just got some lab work done, and my RBC and my hemoglobin is basically normal, but it’s a few counts under. Does anyone know (I’m not assuming it’s Nexplanon, I’m doing more in-depth iron testing today) if Nexplanon causes iron- deficiency anemia? Thank you!
I can't give you an evidence backed answer. But I know heavy and long periods can cause anemia. So if you're bleeding a lot, it would make sense!
Omgs i have this exact same thing happening to me
This is happenning to me too. It's been a year since I have it now and my period doesn't seem to stop!
How Many days those it take to be effective they put it on me but i did not have my period
Is it difficult to break? It looks very soft?
I'm planning on getting Nexplanon in the next few months but I'm worried about the persistent bleeding/spotting symptom that some people have reported experiencing because if I'm constantly bleeding then what would be the point of having it since I wouldn't be having sex while I'm bleeding anyway?
Girl I got it and I bled for like months straight. I went back and my doctor prescribed me pills to balance out the bleeding. Now I don’t have a period at all!
Im getting it tmrw.. so nervous.
Update?
I had the WORST experience with the nexplanon implant. I developed clots in my lungs as a 23 year old non-smoker who weighed 100lbs. (I mention my weight and nonsmoking because those were listed as risk factors for blood clots)
I passed out one morning and went to urgent care, where they did a blood test and CT and diagnosed me with pulmonary embolism. When they went to take out the implant, it took 3 different doctors to try and left a scar that sometimes breaks out in hives.
5 years later and I have a toddler. I almost died in labor from blood loss.
For the rest of my life, I can never use birth control with hormones (which is 99% of all birth control) AND I will have to inject blood thinners every single day of all my pregnancies.
PLEASE do your research ‼️‼️And if you feel like something is wrong, DONT ignore it! The doctor told me that me blacking out like that probably saved my life, because a lot of times PE’s are asymptomatic and aren’t discovered until the autopsy.
What about MRIS does it get effected by?
Beautiful presenter 🙏. Your topic is of vital importance in the light of recent political developments.
I got it and wasn’t informed not to wait to do the deed I did it within 8 hours … my boobs have sore an almost two weeks later and some cramps no bleeding. Or spotting 😮
Update? Are you pregnant?
@@preciouspink8253 not that time, but a few mo layer I got pregnant. Missed the depo shot. I’m 6 months now
@@MelloMars_ oh okay. Thanks for replying. I wish you safe delivery. Stay safe and healthy
They have 5 year one too right
I have 8 months with mine and my period just disappeared i only get like spottings the day i supposed to have my period but only like 1 or 2 times then is gone
So me and my partner are getting this done for her and I just wanted to clarify cause I can be dumb but we wouldn't need a condom if we get the implant correct?
Got to let her body adjust to it before you have sex so yall dont get pregnant
Correct
Could you share the symptoms of the 2nd time of getting the implant? I'm getting my second one in a couple weeks. It never really suppressed my period during my 3 years, had alot of irregular bleeding but I'm fine with it. I've heard some ladies had a worse symptoms the second time around.
I had my iud that was the worst symptoms I had. Then I got the arm implant since I had the iud for years my body was used to the harmones so when I got it nothing changed I was the same as I was with the iud I had a little period but that was it
How can u stop the severe headaches
Bleeding for months isn't what I consider "something that just works" lol. Maybe for some, but certainly not for me. Also my mood is way off. Cant handle this hormone at all sadly. Estrogen or barrier methods for me.
Im having it for almost 2 years and that's the worst decision of my life i have gained 15 kilos I am depressed, I had one and half year bleeding, very bad cramps. At least it was like that for me really really bad. I kinda feel I have lost myself!
Until I just said to myself wait wait what the hell is happening with you?!!! I realized the day I inserted that I forgot peace and happiness.
Im gonna remove it this week. For sure.
It’s probably not the implant causing weight gain because there isn’t any estrogen in it.
@@929mira well, last month I changed it to IUD I can see the differences so far. My mood is better but not so sure about my weight maybe still soon to say.
@@shiny3507 can you update me if it does change? good or bad?
@@929mira yes I can, but still in every individual has its own reaction and side-effect, it might effect different in me than you or anybody else.🤷♀️
@@shiny3507 no I know but my doctor said it wouldn’t cause any weight gain because it didnt have estrogen, which causes weight gain in bc, in it. Ive had it for a week now, maybe its too soon to tell.
Can Nexplanon break? I mess with it every now and then to see if it's still intact and one piece because I'm always so worried about breaking it..
That’s why it’s flexible
It’s technically possible but very very very rare.
Can it be crushed by my own body weight?
Not me thinking the arm sample thing was the Nexplanon. 🤦🏼♀️
it hurts getting them removed
I got the implant around a year ago and ever since then im on my period everyday is that normal?
Omg no???
we don’t forget it
Hola Dra Ale mi nombre es Emily de León soy estudiante de medicina y me interesa mucho el campo de la ginecología quisiera poder contactarme con usted, es sobre una rotación hospitalaria, espero y pueda ver mi mensaje, le envié un correo electrónico 📧
De ante mano gracias 🙏
I was 8 months into having my 2nd nexplanon when I decided to stop taking oral bc with it, which I was doing all while I had it in order to regulate my cycle. As soon as I stopped taking oral bc I started bleeding, heavily, nonstop. I bled for 135 out of 150 days, long past the time it should have taken for my body to adjust. Finally got it taken out 3 days ago and have sworn off hormonal birth control entirely. Who knows what damage these things are doing long term? I may get a copper IUD in the future but for now I just need a break. My body has been on some sort of hormonal bc for the last 10 years, I can't even remember what it's like to have a normal, natural cycle.
Guys don't get it it's horrible I didn't get my period for a year and when I did I bled for almost 2 months and it would have continued unless I got a shot from the hospital to stop it and this continued after a year its horrible and it makes you fat. I gained 20 pounds and it makes you depressed and your hair falls out
It's different for everyone ppl will respond to it all different ways it's not the same for everybody
The nexplanon doesn’t have estrogen so it wasn’t the implant causing weight gain.
Every woman have different body, my two best friends they have Nexplanon birth control They love it and my cousin have it and she loved it They have zero side effect. 🙂
and to put them on too
Mine is expired first of june but I didn't take it out is it possible to get pregnant with it
For me the cons outweigh the pros, so I'm gonna say no to this drug. Yikes.
Does Nexplanon cause breast cancer because I am experiencing breast discarge in my breasts?
Hey I'm trans (ftm) do you think this would work as a replacement for estrogen blockers
no. it’s not stopping estrogen.
You want an anti-oestrogen like Depo Provera
Neem oil safest birth control

Ugh I almost decided on this bc butttt my acne alreadyyyy acting up soo no 😭
my ma had bad acne and it actually helped hers go away. i have super sensitive acne prone skin as well but i’m going to give this a shot, i get mine tmrw!
@@kiaramacklinany updates? 🙌🏻
@@kiaramacklin- Update on how it went?
@@jess.16 omg i just saw this! it hurt tbh but that’s cause i’m a baby when it comes to needles. my skin did flare up a bit at the start but my skin is a lot lot clearer now than before
My period at be 3months
I was thinking ab getting this or an iud but I heard they both make you fat 😞
It does it certainly does
Both ?😭
@@angelicaramos8080 gaining a little weight is better than birthing a baby trust me
It’s soooo crazy bc now me and my fiancé want to have a baby 😭😭😂
@@angelicaramos8080 If you're planning on getting married, tell him to give you a wedding date. Stay on birth control until the actual wedding night-- other women aren't stupid, people change and I've seen sooooo many guys get someone pregnant and then leave during the fiance stage. Pregnancy and later a kid change EVERYTHING, and most guys won't stick through that with you unless they made a lifelong commitment through marriage -- and even THEN 50% leave.
One thing about life: never think you're the exception. Just trust the statistics and improve your odds by getting birth control until he says I do. Trust me.
Hai mamm
