"i have been on nexplanon now for 4 years, and i absolutely love it. the first year was a little rough because it was very hard to track my periods, and i would spot randomly. i also gained about 50 pounds. after the first year though my weight remained normal, and my periods completely stopped. after 3 year i switched over to a new nexplanon. it was a little bit more of a hassle than the first appointment. mostly because i had gained weight making it a bit harder to get the nexplanon out. it was completely painless, and still rather quick. i would recommend nexplanon to anyone that has a hard time remembering pills or appointments like i did. i plan to continue to use nexplanon until my fianc&eacute; and i are ready to get pregnant!"
