"i have been on nexplanon for a year and i absolutely love it.  it seems to me this really effects everyone different.  i have had minor weight gain which i am going to attribute more to my less than active lifestyle, (less than ten pounds).  i had super heavy periods before nexplanon and after they are light an do vary a bit but are still fairly regular.  i am not any more moody then i was or tired than i was.  when it was injected it barely hurt and i could feel it in my arm but it never has caused pain.  i recommend this to anyone looking  for something easy and effective.  i will continue to use this birth control until i am ready for kids because it works for me but like i said i think it effects everyone differently."
