"i have had the nexplanon implant in for six months and i have very few complaints. after getting it in, i bled lightly for about a month and then my period stopped all together. overall, my complaints involve my body. i have gained weight, my face stays broken out, and i&#039;m not as happy as i used to be. but the nexplanon does its job, just makes me nervous because without my period, i don&#039;t know if i&#039;m pregnant especially with the way that it mimics pregnancy symptoms."
