"i&#039;m about to have my nexplanon taken out as it&#039;s the end of my three years. would i recommend this to someone else? eh. for the first (literally) two years the periods are so sporadic i never went anywhere without a tampon. they weren&#039;t heavy but they lasted for weeks. no telling how much $ i spent on tampons. then i&#039;d go a month without any spotting, then a month of straight spotting. finally, year 3, it has become much more regular.
 i didn&#039;t have any weight gain but i did have acne pop up all over my chin &amp; cheek bones- i haven&#039;t had acne since middle school. 
overall- it&#039;s effective, but i&#039;m sick of the acne. so. much. acne. 
so no, i won&#039;t be getting it reinserted."
