"i wouldnt recommend nexplanon to anyone unless you want to gain weight. i bleed every other week for about 6 months but then it stopped and i didnt have a cylce for the next 2 in a half years. never got pregnant which was the best part about this birth control! but my mood swings were horrible and i gained 30 pounds in a 3 yr period. i always worked out and ate a good diet but the weight would not get off of me. i finally got it removed and ive lost the entire 30 pounds i lost."
