"so i first got the nexplanon in july of 2014, for the first 5 months i was fine, i didn&#039;t get my period and if i did it was random spotting (very light) but around january i noticed i was very emotional everything made me cry. then my period started coming twice a month with horrific cramps. or i would spot for 2-3 weeks have a week where i thought it was over and started spotting again. i&#039;ve now had it for 13 months and it does the job because i havent gotten pregnant. but that&#039;s only because i haven&#039;t been able to have sex cause i don&#039;t know when my period is going to come"
