"i was put on the nexplanon after forgetting to renew my depo shot several times. on depo-provera i never bled and was extremely excited to try the nexplanon. it has been 5 months and i am ready to tear it out of my arm myself. i have bled constantly, and heavily, for almost all 5 months save for one week in september and one in december. normally my periods lasted 3 days with light flow. now i am constantly bleeding through my tampons within the first 3-4 hours and cannot trust myself to not wear a tampon when it seems it have stopped lest i wake up with ruined clothes and sheets."
