"i got the nexplanon implanted on december 11, 2016. my experience has been great so far. the first two months my period stay on for a total of nine days each, since then i have not any bleeding at all. i also had headaches and cramping the first two months but that has also diminish. the only problems i have is nausea, breast tenderness and weight gain but i am fine with the weight gain because i could use a little weight. i hate the nausea feeling and the small increase in breast size but i can handle it.  hopefully, i don&#039;t become overweight. overall, i love this birth control method. i don&#039;t have to worry about remembering to take the pill."
