"the past three years i used implanon, the first version of nexplanon, and it was rough. i had a heavy period for the entire time i was on it. it was so annoying. once my time came up to switch, i had heard that the nexplanon was a new and improved type of under the skin birth control. i decided that was the one i wanted, and i&#039;ve been on it for about two months. i haven&#039;t had a single period! that&#039;s right, no period. i&#039;m elated to say that. everything has been lovely. i&#039;ve lost a little weight, i haven&#039;t had any breakouts, any weird symptoms. i have been a little moody, but it&#039;s probably because my body is used to pms. i recommend it fully."
