"i&#039;m sixteen, and i got this put in may 14th, 2014. for about a week and a half i had no bleeding, but since may 26th i&#039;ve had constant bleeding. my friend who is on nexplanon said she bled for two months when she first got it and then had one regular period after that. i have a little more acne than usual but i can deal with it. i haven&#039;t gained any weight, in fact i&#039;ve lost weight. my long period is really putting a damper on my sex life. also it&#039;s summer time and obviously i&#039;m going to want to swim a lot, yet i have to worry about a period as i do so. overall, the only side affect that&#039;s really getting to me is my period, which is mostly heavy right now. i&#039;m hoping it will go away soon because i&#039;m sick of it."
