"i had been on nexplanon for 6 years (had it twice). first time getting it, i had the heaviest period for a full month, but then they stopped. when i had it removed and got the next one in, i didn&#039;t bleed at all. getting it removed was the only part that freaked me out but its great for anyone who has issues remembering birth control. i know it&#039;s what caused me to gain weight, because i lost 8 lbs without trying when it was removed. my family thinks it could have caused my depression to be worse but i doubt it. i liked it. kept me baby-free. my only worry was becoming infertile so i didn&#039;t have it put back in ,but if it&#039;s safe i probably will have another one put back in"
