"i had this inserted in the beginning of june 2015 . the first 2 weeks i loved it i lost 10 pounds and my acne started to clear up. then everything went down hill. i&#039;ve had maybe a week and a half collectively that i haven&#039;t had a period, other than that i&#039;ve had a heavy period or heavy spotting for about 4 months. acne came back and oily skin and hair. the last period i had lasted 29 days and i was basically hemorrhaging according to my gyno (i had bad periods prior to nexplanon so heavy bleeding wasn&#039;t odd for me) it&#039;s a &quot;good form of bc&quot; only because its worry free but i&#039;m getting it taken out 9/24/15 and finding another form of birth control. everyone is different, try it for yourself, but its not for me."
