"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon for a little over a year and a half. at first i loved it. i didn&#039;t have to remember to take a pill everyday which was very convenient. fastforward to now... i have been on my cycle for almost a month now. it has been ridiculous. i&#039;ve spent at least $100 on tampons. i&#039;m having it removed this wednesday. i also know of other women that have had this issue as well.  whenever i first got the device i was having very light periods and then out of nowhere they would go from only having it for 2 days to a week, but now its a month and i&#039;m done with it."
