"this is the best birth control. i got off my period before i got the nexplanon since then small spotting. every now and then i was diagnosed with endometriosis. i haven&#039;t had any cramps. with the depo shot i had a period for 2 months, gained 40 pounds. horrible i know. but i have actually lost weight, no cramps, no heavy flow. i&#039;m so happy with this choice this is the best thing i have done!"
