"i am so sorry to all of those who have really suffered with their nexplanon implant.  however, i could not be happier with mine!  i had mine put in about two months ago.  the reason i chose nexplanon was because i started to forget to take my pills.  about a week after i got implanted, i had a period that was longer but lighter than normal (about 8 days).  however, since then, i have not had a period in seven weeks.  i did not gain weight (i actually lost weight), i did not break out, and i did not become emotional or moody.  overall, i feel exactly like myself except now with foolproof protection and no periods!  definitely a plus.  i know everybody reacts differently, but my reaction was positive, and i hope yours is, too."
