"i got the nexplanon implant put in one june 6. i bled non stop. there were days it was heavy then it went to light. other days it was barely spotting so i never knew when i would need a pad because one day i was barely spotting and the next it went back to a regular flow period. it was very irritating. i was lucky enough to get a few days of being period free but i never knew when those days were expected. it was like getting double the protection considering no one wants to have sex while having a period. i had it for a year before getting it taken out. i give it 5 stars for preotection cause i never got pregnant in the full year i had it no matter how many times i had sex on my period free days. but it wasn&#039;t worth the bleeding everyday."
