"so i&#039;ve been on nexplanon for 2 years this june. (2014). 

pros- it works, i don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill everyday, i don&#039;t feel it in my arm, i don&#039;t have a period but every 8 to 6 months and it&#039;s super light. only gained 5 pounds in 2 yrs. 

cons- i had to deal with a little bit of acne, but after seeing a dermatologist i have great skin. it made me moody, i would be moody around the same time every month, so it was like i had pms but never a period to follow. i am tired a lot. i got headaches and nausea for the first 6 months. i developed irritable bowel syndrome, however i fixed that issue by taking fiber regularly and probiotics and i&#039;m fine now.

all in all i&#039;ve had a good experience nothing major i&#039;ve had to deal with."
