"i got my birth control in august 2015. after getting the nexplanon, my period was non stop until just about 2months ago. it&#039;s light bleeding and very easy to deal with. however i am so sensitive and its hard dealing with it. i get mood swings and sometimes horrible episodes of anxiety/depression. my arm has been hurting recently and i&#039;m due to et it taken out in 4 days. i will be going on oral birth control. one of the pros i realized with my implant is i have not experienced any serious weight gain!"
