"i have been on nexplanon for 3 months now and so far i really like it. i was on the depo shot for one year prior to nexplanon and it was a nightmare. i had mood swings, very low sex drive, and headaches all the time. on nexplanon i have not had a period but i have had about 3-4 weeks of spotting but it just recently stopped. the spotting isn&#039;t bad just very light and i usually only have to use 1-2 panty liners a day when i do spot. i do seem to have low sex drive sometimes but not frequently. i have not had any other side effects other than spotting and low sex drive from time to time. i feel like this is a very effective birth control and worth getting."
