"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon for over 2 years and i absolutely love it.  the only issue i&#039;ve had with it is my periods are very irregular which is no big deal for me. i get a period for 2 weeks and then i&#039;m period free for about 4 months, then it will return. i have no problem with that. i plan on using this birth control method for 5 more years. i love it."
