"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 5 months and it&#039;s just great. no periods, no babies. my sex drive is down a little and i&#039;ve put on a few pounds, but it&#039;s worth it to have no periods. i took my last month of pills at the beginning to transition, and i think that helped - i had a very brief period one month in but haven&#039;t seen it since."
