"i got nexplanon in january, and the doctor assured me the side effects would go away after 2-4 months. it&#039;s now september, and there&#039;s no end in sight. i have literally bled constantly (either on my period or heavy spotting) every single day for 8 months. now i&#039;m on my period and it&#039;s lasted 2 wks and it just keeps going, so i&#039;m getting the implant taken out. i&#039;m fed up. 



i also got moderate, daily headaches for the first 6 months, periods of acne off and on, and i&#039;ve been more moody and depressed. yes, it&#039;s great that i don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill every day. but i have to remember to wear a pad/tampon, and b/c of the moods and bleeding i&#039;ve only had sex a handful of times in the last 8 months. it&#039;s not worth it. i&#039;m done."
