"i got the nexplanon put in novemeber 2016 and for a while, it was fantastic. i didn&#039;t get my period which was great because i always got really bad migraines on my period and those stopped, didn&#039;t really experience acne and i actually lost 20 pounds which was fantastic. i did however experience severe anxiety but i&#039;ve always had it so i don&#039;t think it was due to the nexplanon. it is now august and i am starting to gain weight, am left with acne and acne scars and have been experience bleeding for a few weeks now which is a huge pain. i called my doctor and she said it that it&#039;s all normal but what&#039;s the point in having the birth control if i can&#039;t have sex because i&#039;m constantly bleeding? gonna stick with it for another couple months and see"
