"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 2 months now. i was really worried about all the side effects i read, but i took the risk anyway. i was mostly worried about weight gain. so far, i haven&#039;t had any issues with that. i&#039;ve actually lost weight. my biggest side effect is how much it affects my emotions. it is crazy out of control. i haven&#039;t had much issue with periods. i got a really heavy one for 7 days straight a couple weeks after i got it in. then a month later a very light/spotty one for about a week. i&#039;m hoping the periods will go away all together! there is also a lot of nausea for me. but with all of that aside, its perfect. i&#039;m hoping the side effects will calm down soon. i would definitely recommend it."
