"i was on the pill (last one was viorele) for about 10 years before i got my nexplanon in december of 2014. there was a lot of bruising at the site where it was inserted, but i bruise like a peach so not surprising. it is now june 2015 and i have not had a period yet! no pms other than some acne flare-ups every few weeks. there has been considerable weight gain (about 25 lbs) since then, but i&#039;ve started eating better and exercising, which i should have been doing anyway. it was absolutely free, covered 100% by my insurance. i have 0 complaints!"
