"i&#039;ve seen a lot of negative comments and i want to share mine to show people you can have a positive experience with nexplanon. i got my implant december 2013 and am coming up on my 3 year mark. for the first couple of months on nexplanon i had irregular periods, some lasting over 2 weeks at a time. needless to say it was awful. however, after those two months, i stopped getting a period. i have experienced no side effects since then and have been absolutely satisfied with my birth control. i&#039;ve read that a lot of people gained weight, but i actually lost over 15 pounds since being on nexplanon. obviously every person has a different reaction to birth control, but overall my experience has been amazing and i wouldn&#039;t choose anything else"
