"i&#039;ve had nexplanon in my arm for just over 2 years with hardly any side effects.  it seems i&#039;m one of the lucky ones.  the first year i had no period and almost no spotting.  the 2nd year i started spotting every 2 months or so but it was very light and only lasted a day or two.  the only downside i&#039;ve had was last month i had light period for 3 weeks however in 2 years that seemed reasonable to me.  i had acne prior to going on the pill which cleared it up however when i went off it it came back.  nexplanon cleared my skin up again and it has remained clear.  i also have had no weight gain or mood issue."
