"i had nexplanon inserted june of this year. since then i have had three periods, the first two lasted about two weeks. i am currently bleeding again and have been for almost a month. my gyno gave me bc pills to help regulate my period but once i finished those off, i immediately started bleeding again, heavier than before. prolonged bleeding and also depressed mood have been the side effects i experienced.  i won&#039;t tell anyone not to try nexplanon, but i would tell them that everyone&#039;s experience will be different. it&#039;s a great form of bc since i basically bled the whole time, i couldn&#039;t even have sex!"
