"i had the nexplanon inserted about eight months ago. i did plenty of research before, so i knew what to expect in the first few months, as far as bleeding/spotting, headaches, etc. without birth control, i went through about five ultra tampons on an average period day. when my &quot;period&quot; came around on the nexplanon, it was barely anything (light enough to wear a pantyliner while at work without needing to change it). i thought i finally found the perfect birth control. however, the last three or four months, i&#039;ve had a constant period, with a couple of days here and there with nothing. it&#039;s terrible. and although it isn&#039;t as heavy as it used to be, it&#039;s heavier than it was when i started nexplanon"
