"i had my second child october 21. on january 5, i decided to get the nexplanon as a birth control. i honestly hate it. i have had about 6 periods since i&#039;ve gotten this birth control. the periods usually last about five to six days with a day or two in between the next time it comes on. i bleed too much &amp; i&#039;m honestly ready to get this out as soon as possible. it reacts to everyone differently but i guess i&#039;m one of the unlucky ones."
