"i&#039;m on my 3rd year with nexplanon and i plan on not getting another one. the first year was the worst with light spotting almost every day of the year. the second year was a little better, some days i didn&#039;t spot at all and completely forgot about the implant. this year the spotting has come back and is more than normal i&#039;ve been bleeding for 3 weeks straight wondering when it&#039;ll stop. i&#039;ve also gained about 20 pounds since i&#039;ve had it put in and i can&#039;t seem to lose it and i&#039;ve had a huge loss of sex drive, i&#039;m single and with all the bleeding and extra weight i don&#039;t even want to have sex with anyone so i find it pointless now. having it removed in october when the 3 years is up. otherwise i&#039;ll have to pay for it."
