"i got the nexplanon 6 weeks after i had my daughter. at first i did not like it at all! i wasn&#039;t on my period when i had gotten it inserted but shortly after that i had my period for 3 months straight, it was heavy bleeding for the whole 3 months, i had contacted my obgyn and they gave me pills to stop bleeding, did not work, i took another form of birth control to help level out my hormones, that didnt work either. she finally told me if it didnt stop by the end of october 2013 i would have it taken out, well luckily it stopped in september and i have only had my period once since then, now i love it. i lost about 15 pounds, my insertion spot is completely healed, i did get nauseous once, but other than that i&#039;m completely happy."
