"i had the nexplanon implant inserted in june 2017, it is now october 2017 and it has not met any of my expectations! i have gained 15lbs since it was inserted and i have not stopped bleeding since! it&rsquo;s not like a period, it&rsquo;s very light and comes and goes throughout the day. but still very annoying! everyone keeps telling me to wait it out, and it will get better but how long should i wait? my skin is the worst it&rsquo;s ever been, i&rsquo;ve suffered from acne since i was young and it was finally clearing up with the right skin care routine! now it is worse than ever and i cannot get it under control! i cannot say whether i recommend this type of birth control for anyone simply because everyone reacts differently to different drugs."
