"nexplanon would be awesome if i didn&#039;t have constant spotting. 2 weeks after i had it inserted, i began to bleed. less than my normal period, but enough to wear a light pad. after that first week i spotted, and have continued to spot for the past two months.



the insertion was super easy - the numbing shot is the hardest part, but you just feel a little pinch. i haven&#039;t gained any weight, in fact i lost 10 pounds, but i attribute that to a change in my exercise/food intake routine. the best part is i don&#039;t have to worry about getting pregnant when i have sex, and that&#039;s the main reason i&#039;m sticking with it, despite the inconvenient bleeding. it will be 3 months next week since i had it inserted, so i hope the spotting stops soon :("
