"i got the nexplanon inserted on october 3rd, 2014. insertion was much easier than i thought it would be. only bad part is i&#039;m allergic to adhesive so i broke out bad where the bandaid was and still have some scarring from that. i had been on the pill for 2 1/2 years and taking it every day was a hassle to remember. the first day i have the nexplanon my hormones went crazy. but after that everything was fine. super happy no weight gain (if anything i lost weight), my mood swings have almost stopped and i&#039;m not pregnant. i just started spotting a few days ago. very light. not enough for a tampon just a small pad. i noticed i have been slightly more emotional but nothing compared to how it used to be while bleeding. so far so good."
