"i&#039;ve had it in for 8 months now and have been bleeding almost non stop. it&#039;s only now starting to get annoying. i had the worst cramps before. the 1st day of every period i would scream and cry for hours. nothing and i mean nothing worked. my first period with nexplanon was unexpected because i had no pain. i didn&#039;t even know i was bleeding until i went to the bathroom. because there wasn&#039;t any pain i didn&#039;t really care. i figured i would wait my 6 months and it would stop. a week or so ago i stopped and i thought it was finally over..until a few hours ago. once again i&#039;m on my period. this has been my major con. my husbands major con is my sexual drive has gone way down. but i still recommend this because everyone is different."
