"i love my nexplanon. during the first 6 months, i spotted to light bled everyday. it was annoying, but worth it because after about the 6 month mark, i stopped bleeding! now i only spot for about 3 days about every 3 or 4 months. i love it! i don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill at all. some people have it better than others, but in my experience it&#039;s caused me to gain about 4 pounds in my stomach and thigh areas."
