"i got nexplanon about 6 months ago and so far it has worked great for me. when i first got it i had a little bit of spotting, but after a while it went away and now i don&#039;t get anything at all. i haven&#039;t had any mood changes like some people have on the implant, and i have noticed no change in weight, in fact it has gone down a bit. overall, i am very happy with it. i was a little worried before i got it because it seemed like a lot of people had issues with it, but i haven&#039;t experienced anything like that. i will say that i think that&#039;s because i had a very normal, manageable cycle with no hormonal problems before getting it, and i think that if you are someone who does have a lot of issues with your period/hormones it may not work well."
