"it&#039;s currently may 2017 and my three year mark is february 2018 so i&#039;m getting there. just last month out of no where i actually got my period. i haven&#039;t had my period in two years. i got the symptoms of back aches [which are excruciating!!!] cramps and extreme bloating but i never actually bled up until a little after 2 years. it lasted a week and stopped and then came back a week after and stopped and now it&#039;s back again. i read about the nexplanon&#039;s hormones are wearing off so it&#039;ll be irregular periods. not a big fan of it because tampons are going by fast! (it&#039;s not a heavy flow either, it&#039;s just every other week!) i&#039;ve gained 25 pounds and it&#039;s all in my face and my &#039;pooch&#039;. i&#039;m switching to the pill!"
