"okay. when i first started nexplanon, it was great. no periods and still no periods, except dark black spotting. okay, no main stream period problems, but my weight is the problem. i got nexplanon after i gave birth, i had to wait 8 weeks because i bled for a extra 2 weeks. so within the time (i got nexplanon in december 2014) i gained no weight and maintained my weight. as soon as i got nexplanon my weight increased and i never had weight problems. i was a thin 125 and now i&#039;m 157. within months, ny eating happens have not changed. i&#039;m not a sweets eater, i&#039;ve started exercising and still no weight loss. im 5&#039;2 so i am now over weight for my height. i loved nexplanon no periods, but the weight gain. is a no go for me."
