"i had nexplanon for a year and 6 months. i bled the entire time- at least 15 days a month. it wasn&#039;t a full flow, but it was always there and there was no rhyme or reason to the bleeding so i couldn&#039;t even plan for it. it worked as in i&#039;m not pregnant, but i couldn&#039;t take the bleeding. i kept hoping it would adjust to my body, but never did. my doctor said many women have the same result and that&#039;s why they get it removed. it&#039;s been gone a month and i have not bled since aside from my actual scheduled monthly period. it&#039;s great to be able to know when i&#039;ll be bleeding. my acne is completely gone as well (it wasn&#039;t severe, but my face is spotless now and nothing changed aside from removal). insertion and removal was easy and painless."
