"i had the implanon implant for 3 years and loved it! then i had that replaced with the nexplanon which is the same exact implant just more visible in xrays and stuff, and i used it for a little over a year. i had high hopes for this implant but the only good thing that came from it was not getting pregnant, possibly because i barley wanted to have sex because i was on my period all the time! i went to the doctor and she prescribed me a med to help regulate my periods and it still didn&#039;t help. just beware if you get this kind you may have your period all the time or it may go away completely if your lucky to be one of those people, i was not."
