"i had the nexplanon for 1.5 years. for the first six months i bled almost every day. after that i would have a period every month, but that also involved a lot of spotting. sometimes i had my period for a couple of weeks. i never knew when i was going to have mine- it was never around the same time. i noticed a change in my mood (always up and down), weight (gained), and an huge increase of acne. the only positive thing about having the nexplanon was not worrying about taking a pill every single day."
