"i&#039;ve been on nexplanon for over a year now. in the beginning i was on my period non-stop for a month as my body got use to the new hormones. after that my periods became regular but they did not go away like i had hoped they would. i also started getting frequent acne breakouts which was the only annoying thing about this. the thing i love about nexplanon is that it is implanted in my arm and i don&#039;t have to worry about it ever. also, i have not had as many emotional issues as i have while on other birth controls. my friend got nexplanon the same time i did and she has not had a period in months so it really just depends on your body. try it out"
