Etonogestrel
"I had implanon for three years prior to this nexplanon. I had no issues with implanon at all. I was period free for three years with no side effects. Now the problem with nexplanon: I have horrible cramping and pain that lasts up to a week sometimes. It seems to be every other week now. It interferes with work and my home life as we all know pain can make us miserable and cranky. I went to the doctor she said it was this and just my normal period (Minus bleeding) I've had periods for over 15 years and never had periods this painful! The pain is so bad that regular over the counter pain killers don't touch it and I refuse to take anything stronger. The health risks from over the counter pain killers are bad enough. My only option? Removal"
