"i have not gotten pregnant while on nexplanon, so that&#039;s good. that being said, i have an appointment with my gyn to see about getting it removed. before i got the implant, my cycles were very regular (every 27-29 days,lasting about 4-5 days). they warned me when i got the implant my cycle may change or stop; what actually happened is i now run 35-50 days between cycles and they last for 7-12 days. i have also experienced significant weight gain and mood shifts. i suffer from depression, and i&#039;ve felt like i&#039;ve been having a mild episode almost the entire time i&#039;ve had the implant. also, my face is breaking out like it did when i was in middle school. no thanks."
