"i&#039;ve had nexplanon inserted about 9 months ago. sept. 2013  and was on the pills before which i didn&#039;t like. i bled for about a month lightly before it went away completely. loved every minute of no periods and it doesn&#039;t affect my sex life at all. in fact, i&#039;m always wanting sex. can&#039;t say anything about acne because i&#039;ve always had it and weight gain? i&#039;ve gained 15 pounds but i&#039;ve always ate a little more than usual so i&#039;m not 100% sure it&#039;s the birth control. recently though, i&#039;ve had some dark brown bleeding and i&#039;m not sure why. it scared me into thinking i was pregnant. once this stops and everything seems okay, i would definitely get another one in about 2 years."
