"i&#039;ve been on the nexplanon since may 2014.  at first it was great, i got a period like every 3 months, no symptoms hardly at all. this past year though has been hell. i&#039;ve been having non stop bleeding. i will bleed for 2 weeks straight then it will stop and come back again the following week. headaches every day, frequent yeast infections, no sex drive at all. not to mention i&#039;ve gained like 20lbs. i still have a year left but as soon as i can i&#039;m going to make an appt. to get it out. i can&#039;t take it any longer. only good thing i have to say about it is that it&#039;s really good on preventing pregnancy and no worries for 3 years. other than that i wouldn&#039;t recommend it."
