"i was terrified by all the bad reviews i read on here before getting this type of birth control, but after having nexplanon in for 3 months, i absolutely love it! i haven&#039;t gained weight, i don&#039;t have any hormonal side affects, or anything like that. the only side affect i&#039;ve gotten from it is that i don&#039;t get my period anymore. so if you still want to get your period every month, it probably won&#039;t happen. i do have very light spotting maybe twice a month and that&#039;s it. but it&#039;s so light that you technically can&#039;t even notice it. overall i&#039;m really glad with how it turned out.  

this is the first birth control i&#039;ve used and so far it&#039;s really good. i&#039;m 19 and weight 125 pounds."
