Since I'm a guy and have no women in my life of child-bearing age, I don't encounter much discussion of contraceptive methods. Does anyone have any experience with Nexplanon? It seems like a decent choice for women who are not planning a pregnancy for a few years, and maybe for younger women who have problems taking an oral contraceptive regularly.

I just don't think I've every heard anyone discuss that one.
