"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for close to 8 months now. i have had a few heavy periods but just mainly constant spotting and heavy discharge. i haven&#039;t had a period in a month and a half, or spotted so i&#039;m hoping this means the periods and spotting are over. i was pretty miserable for a while but i am pretty confident in the effectiveness of this now. i honestly think its worth all the side effects that come with it. it honestly just depends on the person though. each person has a different experience with it but i think it&#039;s definitely worth a shot."
