"best decision i&#039;ve made is to get nexplanon. reliable, long term birth control, with very few side effects. i&#039;ve gained a small amount of weight (about 10 pounds) but i also gained a similar amount on the traditional pill. 



i haven&#039;t had a single period since getting it, which is amazing. i followed my doctors suggestion of taking my last month of pills on top of my first month of having  nexplanon."
