[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your doc why he or she recommends it over Nexplanon. The implant has a lower failure rate, 3 years protection but immediate return of fertility, can be used while breaatfeeding, and my take on it is - if something goes wrong, it isn't in your uterus where it can do some real damage.

Nexplanon is a great option, but so many people have it removed for continuous spotting/bleeding.[/quote]

Yeah, fair enough. It is about 11% of women that have it removed (I just had my second one put in and was reading stats recently). Supposedly if you have it put in during the first 5 days of your cycle, it can reduce the chances of that irregular bleeding. Not a guarantee though. I was really lucky, no period for the first year, about every 3 months for the second year, and then was getting more regular in the third year (like down to every 2 months) when I had it removed to TTC.

I'm a huge Nexplanon fan! I hope I don't get proven wrong and have tons of bleeding issues with this round!! I thought about an IUD but figured if I was going to have hormones anyway, I'd rather the more effective and less risky (in my mind - I had a close friend with a perforation though so I'm sure I overestimate the risks) implant. And the heavier periods of the Paragard were unappealing. [/quote]
