"i got my nexplanon inserted april of 2015 it is now august of 2015 and i will probably get it out soon. i was so excited to get this for the obvious reason... my gyno told me the facts: that eventually you won&#039;t get your period anymore and that you won&#039;t be able to get pregnant for 3 years (which is great when you have a boyfriend). unfortunately nexplanon didn&#039;t live up to my expectations at all i bleed for the first 4 months straight, heavy spotting type of bleeding, and it was miserable!!! i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant which is a perk but that&#039;s probably because i rarely have sex because i&#039;m always bleeding. it&#039;s been a miserable expirence which is so dissapointing but hopefully i&#039;m getting it out soon."
