"the first 2 month on nexplanon was a breeze i thought this was the life no side effects at all. by month 3 i was spotting every few days, it started out light for a couple days for a few months but then it became heavy and lasted atleast 5 days. i would be spot free for a few days then bleeding again. i went to my doctor to get a high dose of ibuprofen and that made me stop spotting for 2 weeks &amp; then bleeding again. the doctor said that the spotting would go away by the 6th month &amp; i tried to stick it out &amp; that was a huge mistake. i also had depression, nausea,&amp; dizziness. i got it removed last week &amp; they had to slice open my arm &amp; dig it out nothing like the quick shot to get it."
