"i got nexplanon bc in january 2015, so almost a year now, and i have had only one week out of this whole year that i have not bled, constantly. i have gained at least 30 lbs. i have never had bad acne, but it seems that the implant has helped with that, and i&#039;m not pregnant, but who could be after bleeding for nearly 11 months straight. so unless you enjoy bleeding constantly and very severe mood swings and weight gain, i wouldn&#039;t recommend it."
