"i have been using nexplanon for 12 years with no breaks and i&#039;m about to receive my 5th implant. as you can probably tell from my continued commitment, i find that the pro&#039;s of the implant strongly out weigh the con&#039;s. firstly, there are side effects (like most medication). i did receive a little weight gain, i can be a little moody sometimes and my boobs and tummy get very tender once a month, but although i have the hormonal effect of a monthly period i very rarely (once every 3 months) receive very light bleeding/spotting. what&#039;s is most important to me is that i haven&#039;t never had a child or been pregnant, which is the purpose of the contraception. 
everyone will react differently. you know what is best for your body."
