"ok so i decided to go on nexplanon in august of 2014 and i had read all the side effects and all of them had happened. i had my period for a week and a half. then about every other month i had one but it was less time each time and way less bleeding. and now its almost been a whole year since i got it done and i now have no signs of a period or spotting and discharge. i had asked my sister if not having a period was a bad thing and she said yes so i&#039;m not sure if i should get this removed because of me not having a period. all my hormones are fine. everything about the birth control is amazing for me i just don&#039;t ever have a period."
