"i have been on nexplanon since sept 26, 2013. the first week was really hard. i bled horribily. i called my doctor with my issue. for one month she prescribed my prior birth control pills to control the bleeding. it stopped after the second day on oral birth control. i finished the pack. my cycle came on time in october. and until 12/26/13, i had not had a cycle. at this point it is very light. i encourage everyone to try it for them selves. we all have different bodies and the side effects will not be the same. i also experienced a minor acne breakout. best thing...no babies, weight gain or hair loss."
