"i got the nexplanon inserted in 2015 and i&#039;ve had an amazing experience with it. almost no periods (i only have light spotting occasionally) no weight gain, mood swings, or increase in acne. it&#039;s so small i barely remember it&#039;s even there and it&#039;s a great feeling to know i&#039;m protected from pregnancy 24/7! i definitely recommend this birth control and i am definitely going to get another one inserted when the 3 years is up."
