"i had nexplanon implanted in november of 2013.  the site was initially lumpy and swollen but now i don&#039;t feel it.  for birth control it is amazing but that&#039;s where my benefits end.  i have been bleeding every day for the past five months.   i am extremely moody and have experienced a slight weight gain.  it affects my sex life and i will be removing it if the bleeding doesn&#039;t stop in two months."
