"i&#039;ve had nexplanon since august 2014. i had a period for a few months, which was annoying! then i started to have normal to heavy periods and i never knew when they would come. but, i knew when i was about to start a period. i started breaking out everywhere! i would get headaches, increased appetite, which made me gain weight, i would have mood swings and not feel like myself, and i would even get tender breast and nausea. when i&#039;m bleeding, it last for up to 10 days and it&#039;s super heavy. i never know when it&#039;ll end and i never know when it&#039;ll start. i even spot between periods. this birth control sucks! and i would never recommend it to anyone. the only good thing about it is not getting pregnant. i cannot wait to get it removed!"
