"i&#039;ve had the nexaplanon since sept 2015. the procedure was easy and efficient. no pain, no burning at the injection &amp; no problems with the recovery. i had just finished my period the week before i got the implant. i haven&#039;t had a period since then, which was weird to me @ 1st because i always had a monthly period. i&#039;ve neither lost or gained weight. i do spot a lot every other two weeks or so but its light &amp; i just put a liner down just in case. i do get mood swings from time to time but i snap out of it quickly. i&#039;ve had terrible acne before but this made it out of control. only downside is acne. oh &amp; after sex, like the day after i&#039;ll have heavier spotting.
