"i got nexplanon inserted in may 2014 so i&#039;m about halfway there to my 3 years and i am still til this day on the fence about this birth control. i got it to prevent pregnancy, and i was aware of potential sporadic bleeding, but unfortunately the bleeding has not yet stopped a year and a half later. whether it come for four months straight then stop for a month, its too unpredictable and i find my sex life severely effected and living off tampons. i stopped bleeding for a month in july but i have been bleeding since august 2015 both heavy and light non-stop. once you think you&#039;ve stopped bleeding then out of no where its strikes. its a nuisance and ridiculous. on a lighter note, i am not pregnant so that&#039;s a plus."
