"i have been on nexplanon for about a year and a half now. i decided to go with this form of bc because i am so forgetful that the pill was just not an option for me. this has honestly been one of the most frustrating experiences i have ever had. when i first got it inserted in my arm i noticed i had my period practically everyday and this went on for about 3 months until i went back to my  gynecologist and she said it was completely normal and that it should stop. well it hasn&#039;t at all. everyday i have spotting and it&#039;s gotten to the point where i have to wear a tampon every day . every time i have sex there is always blood everywhere. and it&#039;s hard explaining why i am always on my period to my partner and it&#039;s made me self conscious."
