"i love nexplanon. i started it about 4 months ago and it hasn&#039;t been at all terrible for me. i&#039;ve been having lighter periods that last for about a week and a half. it&#039;s not that big of a deal because they are so light. i also don&#039;t get cramping at the level i used to get it. i&#039;m hoping my period will stop all together, but either way it&#039;s still so much lighter than what i used to have before. i haven&#039;t gained any weight except maybe a pound or two but that&#039;s because i already had a weakness for sweets. i also didn&#039;t have any acne problems. i&#039;m 16 and my skin has been as clear as a baby&#039;s bottom. i think nexplanon had to do with it because my problem acne areas haven&#039;t had any breakouts and i love it."
