"i had my nexplanon inserted a little bit under 4 months ago and have had a few ups and downs with my experience. when i first got it, i had a normal period and then didn&#039;t get another period for 7 weeks. when i did get my period, i bled for 14 days (which seems to be pretty short compared to a lot of the reviews). again, i waited another 6 weeks until i got another period and then had bleeding for a little less than 2 weeks. i haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain on nexplanon although i exercise pretty regularly. before getting nexplanon, i never broke out and rarely had greasy skin/hair, but after getting it inserted, i get occasional pimples and my skin and hair get extremely greasy throughout the day."
