"okay, so i have been on the nexplanon for almost fourteen months, and let me tell you, it has been the worst almost fourteen months of my life. not only have i had extreme bleeding issues the whole time, but i have also re gained weight that i previously lost. now, back to the bleeding issue. about two months after i got this implant placed in my arm, that is when the bleeding decided to start. i thought that it was just a normal period....until six straight months went by and i was still bleeding heavily. i went to the emergency room at least three or four times within the past fourteen months, and all the doctors told me was that it was a normal period. i am getting this taken out tomorrow.!!!!"
