"i got mine three years ago and literally just got back from having it removed. i bleed for the first 4-6 months regularly and was scared it would never stop (like some other people said theres never did) but i stuck it out and it stopped. in the past 5 months (ending of third year) i had a super light period three times. no changes in skin, possibly could have contributed to emotional distresses and weight gain but other things changed in my life too so i can not say definitively that it was the nexplanon. i think some people are too quick to give up on it because they contribute all their changes to it and don&#039;t factor in everything else that could be contributing to their symptoms (eating, exercise, drinking, etc.)."
