"i have had nexplanon since july of 2014. i am getting it removed tomorrow, and am going to see about getting permanent contraception. the first month after i got it i had no period, but became very irritable and short-tempered. after the first month i had my period constantly for almost 6 months. then it became incredibly unpredictable. i started using a period tracker online, and noticed that my periods began getting more regular about 4 months ago. it was 2 weeks of bleeding, followed by 2 weeks of no bleeding.

another reason i am getting it out is because of weight gain. i gained around 35 pounds over the 2 years i&#039;ve had it. my weight has been increasing steadily, and no amount of exercise or diet will help."
