"i tried this after experimenting off and on with pills, depo-provera, and barriers over the past 5 years.

pros: transitioning immediately from depo-provera to nexplanon, i have had 0 bleeding. convenient. insertion was quick, easy, and i experience little pain. no need to revisit the clinic every month or three months.

con: i have noticed some weight gain. after receiving the implant on dec 6, it is now jan 7 and i have gained about 3-4 lbs. this makes me a little nervous, as i feel this could easily spiral out of control quickly. i&#039;m afraid to think of what the scale will say in another month."
