"i opted for nexplanon after giving birth to my now 9 month old daughter. the first 7 months, i bled continually. this month i haven&#039;t had one at all. i have not gained weight in fact i am losing weight, and no problems with acne.  only complaint was constant bleeding at first and my arm was real tender for a few wks in the beginning.  oct 2016, will  be  my 3 yrs and i plan on getting it removed and a new one inserted."
