"been on nexplanon since april 2015. positives: don&#039;t have to worry about daily or weekly birth control regimens. no pregnancy. 
negatives: bleeding! bleeding and more bleeding. my normal cycle not on this drug was at most 5 days. when i first started on nexplanon my cycle was 7-8 days; which wasn&#039;t too bad. after 6 months cycle increased to more like 9-10 days and was more unpredictable. now, almost a year in, i&#039;ve been on my cycle for 15 days. i&#039;m so over it! i really tried to give this drug a chance to adjust but it seems to just get worse as time goes on. made an appointment for removal. good luck! lol."
