"i went from the pill, right to nexplanon, i&#039;ve had it for over a month, i have felt literally no difference, no weight gain or crazy cravings, i feel like it&#039;s actually helped my acne, it was painless, only thing was it made my piercings hurt because of the hormones but that went away in about a week. i started slightly spotting today, like a dark brown, nothing a panty liner can&#039;t help. i love it, i&#039;ve had none of the experiences others have in these other stories, but everyone is different. i recommend this form of birth control. i will update again in a few months if things change."
