"i have had nexplanon since may of 2014 it is now august of 2014 and i have been bleeding every since. i have gained 20 pounds since then and i also have acne now. i&#039;m getting this thing taken out as soon as possible. i wish this was the birth control method for me but it&#039;s not. i like the idea of not having to take a pill every single day but after this, i&#039;m willing a and ready to go back to the pill. good luck if you decide to take this method."
