"i currently have nexplanon implanted and when i got it in, i had a light periods for 4 months straight. since i only went on birth control to stop my hellish periods, this wasn&#039;t ideal. my doctor put me on a normal pill birth control (3 weeks of the pill, 1 week placebo). during the placebo week, my horrid periods were back so i told my doctor and that&#039;s when she prescribed me ashlyna. i&#039;ve been taking it for a month so far and everything has gone great. i&#039;ve actually somehow managed to lose weight, there hasn&#039;t been any bleeding at all, and my mood seems to have improved (i used to get depressed during my period). everyone responds different to medications but i would recommend ashlyna."
