"i have been on nexplanon for about 6 months and i love it. i was previously on the pill and terrible at remembering to take it. my doctor suggested this so i looked into it and had it implanted. recovery was quick and painless. i was moody, cranky and touchy for the first few weeks. i have regular periods a little bit on the heavier side but nothing to bad to complain about. so easy you don&#039;t even know it&#039;s there or have to do anything daily. i have not experienced weight gain"
