"this was my first bc i had tried before. i went on it because i had very 7-8 day heavy bleeding, hormonal breakouts, bloating, and light cramps. at first i noticed no change but by the second week i began to spot a lot... this turned into a 4 month nonstop period!!! i went to the doctor to but me on another additional pill to help calm down the bleeding, it did- but about a week after being off of it i started my period again! i have had the nexplanon in for almost 9 months and its been pretty depressing... besides the annoying spotting/bleeding all the time, i became veryy emotionally sensitive. the only cons with this is that i never gained any weight, my skin got a little bit better and its convenient! but let me say i&#039;m switching still!"
