"i got nexplanon bc in july 2015. which means i&#039;ve had it for about 3-4 months. i haven&#039;t gained weight, but i lost muscle and gained a ton of fat. i didn&#039;t notice any spotting until a couple weeks after i got it put in but i haven&#039;t stopped spotting and it sucks. i&#039;ll give it the 6 months it needs but i really don&#039;t need/recommend it."
