"i got nexplanon inserted december 2012. i was previously on the pill for 5 years which worked great for me, but i began having seizures last july. because of the seizures, i switched my birth control to a progesterone based birth control in case the estrogen was provoking my seizures. i&#039;ve now had nexplanon for almost 5 months and have been bleeding every day since. i&#039;ve also gained about 15 pounds. it has been horrible for me. i would love to just take it out, but i spent $700 on this and would like to wait it out and see if it gets better.
