"i got nexplanon inserted about two weeks ago. i haven&#039;t had a period, bled, or even spotted since. i have a friend that also has the implant and said that she had. i&#039;ve actually lost 3 pounds since insertion but i have started working out. the only side effect i&#039;m getting is acne. my face was fine until tonight. my skin is oily now and i&#039;m breaking out on my forehead. my skin was always clear before this. other than that, this is the best birth control i&#039;ve had."
