"i got nexplanon inserted 5 months now and the first 3 months i was spotting non-stop and after that i would lightly spot once a month for 2 days which i assume is probably my period. in the beginning, i had a horrible time with the nonstop bleeding and the crazy mood swings but stuck through it and now everything is clear blue skies! definitely a great option to consider if you&#039;re forgetful and can&#039;t remember to take a pill everyday."
