"my daughter had a baby dec 2015 and got the nexplanon at her checkup. she loves it!!! she has now had it about 9 months and has never had a period, and hasn&#039;t gained any weight. actually lost all her baby weight and is now modeling. she loves it! i wanted to get one so bad, but im 40 and not sure which route it will go with my body since everyone is different. i wish i would be as lucky as my daughter. until then, im on the pill"
