"i just got my nexplanon taken out after the full 3 yrs and the same day i got another one put in. i love this birth control! i totally understand that everyone reacts differently to things but i truly believe it is worth sticking it out for the first 6 months and then decide if you want it taken out. nexplanon helped me clear up my acne and controlled my weight and i had barely any periods throughout the 3 years i was on it. it is amazing to not have to stress out about a pill every day and not have to go pick up a prescription every month. the only downside is getting it taken out takes a little while and if you&#039;re squeamish it can be a little uncomfortable but the insertion is so quick and easy you barely even notice it happening! love it"
