"i&#039;m nearing the end of my 3 year term and getting it out now, but should have long ago! i got my nexplanon put in january 2013... the first 10 months were fantastic, i did not have 1 period! from 10 months until about 14 months was ok, i had a period here and there. the past year or more had been terrible! instead of having a period 1 week per month, i am lucky to not have a period for 4 days a month!
on top of that, i gained a total of 30 pounds.. most of it in the first year.
i hate it and should have had it removed sooner but next wednesday is the day!
rated it a 3 because it was successful in that i did not get pregnant."
