"i had nexplanon inserted september of 2015. i bled (mild to moderate) almost daily for nearly 3 months. by december my periods would come monthly, but they last for almost 2 weeks. the only plus side is minimal cramping. i&#039;ve been constantly exhausted, have gained 10 lbs, and have no sex drive whatsoever. it has completely killed my sex life- not to mention the fact that i have been getting recurrent vaginitis since starting it. i promised myself i would give it 6 months and i&#039;m counting the days until i have it removed. i guess the plus side is that i have not gotten pregnant, but maybe it&#039;s because i never have sex anymore because of it!"
