"i&#039;ve had nexplanon in for about 6 months now. the process of injection was a little uncomfortable but nothing compared to child birthing. at first i hated it, i had periods for 5-7 days 3 times a month! now i haven&#039;t had my period for a little over a month. but i have gained 10lbs, no matter how much i workout i can&#039;t seem to lose it. as much as i hate the extra weight i&#039;ll take it over being pregnant!"
