"after having my daughter in february of 2012, i got the nexaplon implant because we didn&#039;t want another child right off the bat.. i think i only had a period 3 times.. i had it removed june 25, 2015 because we wanted to try for another baby.. since then, i&#039;ve had maybe 6 periods.. sounds great, right? no, not great at all. my periods have lasted 11 days, then 2 1/2 weeks, then 4 weeks, 5 weeks, etc. but they&#039;re every other month. they&#039;ve been very heavy periods, i go through 2 1/2 boxes (36 ct.) of super tampons, easily, during my periods. then they slowly taper off, to leave me with spotting for 2 weeks. currently, i&#039;ve been on my period for 3 weeks now. i do not recommend this to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
