"i currently have nexplanon. i&#039;ve had it for over a year now and i&#039;m not a big fan of it. i like how i don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill but i absolutely hate the prolonged periods... i&#039;ll have a period for 2-3 weeks straight, stop for 2-4 days and start back up again. the doctor said it would take a year for my body to regulate but it&#039;s actually worse bc the current period i&#039;m on has lasted almost a month! and i have bad cramping with it. whole point of bc is to be able to be intimate with my s/o and i can&#039;t when i&#039;m constantly bleeding. plus it&#039;s caused me to be short tempered and made my sex drive go down a lot. thinking of having it removed and trying something else."
