"i got nexplanon march 23, 2014. i didn&#039;t bruise after getting it and didn&#039;t bleed. i don&#039;t get many periods, and when i do they&#039;re very light. i&#039;ve had one normal period since getting it. i gained weight but it&#039;s nothing i can&#039;t lose at the gym. i love this birth control and will definitely be getting it again when the three years is up."
