"i have had nexplanon for a couple of months and i have to say it has been very effective. i am young and my mom even though disappointed felt this was the best for me. i have been bleeding everyday besides a couple of days at the end of every month. i also do get some of the side effects like back aches but they are bearable. i have gained weight but i do recommend this to many young girls and women. my boyfriend and i had an incident and i am not pregnant."
