"i got the nexplanon in july of 2013. the first 1.5 years i loved it! only 3-4 small bleedings in that time, and everything felt great, no mood swings, etc. after a stressful month (not sure if this has anything to do with it but the timelines definitely coincides) i started having 4-5 days long periods, every 1-2 weeks. the bleedings became more infrequent for a short period of time (again timeline coincides with less stress), after which i started getting the frequent (but short) bleedings again. the last couple of weeks i&#039;ve also become exceptionally moody, and about everything will make me cry the 1-2 days before the short bleeding occurs. also i&#039;m exhausted all the time. it was great until it went bad. getting it removed asap."
