"i got the nexplanon put in last june, so it has been almost a year. i had many friends rave about how awesome it was and how they rarely got periods from it. i didn&#039;t have a period for a few weeks, but ever since then my periods have been back and they have been worse. i bleed more than i did when i first started taking birth control. i use a diva cup and when i was on the pill i would barely fill 1/3 of it in 12 hours now there are times where it over flows in two. my cramps are awful, my breasts are always sore, and i&#039;ve had to up my medicine for depression and anxiety. i would not recommend this to anyone."
