"i had nexplanon placed in january 2015. it was basically a last resort because i got pregnant on birth control pills, gained 80 pounds on depo, nuvaring didn&#039;t agree with my body &amp; my mirena iud dislodged itself and almost perforated my cervix and vaginal wall. 
i didn&#039;t get a period until may 2015 then it came every month on the 15th. bleeding was lite to heavy and varied a lot. december 15th i started my period and am still bleeding now. i was able to lose 50 pounds on this birth control. bleeding is the only kinda down side in my opinion. overall i love this implant."
