"i decided to get nexplanon after being dissatisfied with the pill. i got it placed june 2015 and im very happy with it. thankfully the only side effects ive experienced are weight gain, 13lbs which was welcomed since i was a little under-weight and light spotting every now and then, nothing too bothersome. i love that i dont have to remember a pill everyday or go in for shots or replace a patch/ring every week/month, and i love that its effective for up to 3 years."
