"i keep reading reviews about getting constant bleeding... i am the opposite. i started taking the 3 month deposit shots last year and got the nexplan on in december... no bleeding, no spotting, no periods! lol its awesome! i will say i have increased pimples (but not on my face, hooray!) and lower sex drive. but it&#039;s not disappeared as some have described... me and my boyfriend still having fun :) 
not sure if i&#039;m gaining weight; and if so, i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s the birth control or my eating
i would say: take the shots first for 6 months. if you bleed on the shot you&#039;ll bleed on the nexplanon because they are the same hormone. with these sorts of things, always make sure the hormone works well with your body before making a 3 year commitment"
