"i got nexplanon in october of 2014. since getting it, i have not had a period. no spotting or bleeding, periods just stopped. it&#039;s great! no random breakouts on my face and no weight gain from it. definitely the best option if taking a pill is hard for someone. i never could remember to take my pill, this was the best option. the insertion was much better than i thought and it&#039;s been great ever since."
