"i had nexaplon put in on april 21, 2015. it was mostly pain free. i had some soreness around the injection site but have no complaints. i no longer experience nausea or cramping.  i spotted for 2 weeks and have not had a period since getting the implant put in. i have increased acne but it is minimal. no weight gain. my insurance covered this and that was a huge factor in my decision. i would recommend this drug. keep in mind that everybody is different. what works for me, might not work for you."
