"i got nexplanon the first few days of june. at first, i hated it and almost had it removed. i broke out horribly, had terrible mood swings and still spotted periodically. i gained about 10 pounds and was not happy with how my body was reacting to it. my doctor told me to wait it out and let my body adjust (since i had only had it for less than 2 months) and i am so glad i waited. my skin is the clearest it&#039;s been, i haven&#039;t had a period since august, my mood swings have gotten so much better and my weight gain stopped. i am so glad i stuck it out and highly recommend waiting 3-4 months before making a decision to have it removed. hope this helps! :)"
