"i have had the nexplanon for almost a year now and i really like it. i had light spotting for a whole month right after insertion. now i only get a light period once every three months that lasts about a week which is very nice. my sex drive did decline although i can&#039;t totally blame that on the nexplanon. other then that i haven&#039;t had any other negative side effects so far. the insertion was a piece of cake but i did have bruising for a few days. it works great for me and right now i plan on getting another one inserted once my time is up."
