"i&#039;ve had nexplanon since july 2016. from july to december i was bleeding non stop. the bleeding let up on random days, but continued to have a period. my gyno put me on 1 mg estrogen pills to help me regulate and i stayed regulated until march 2017. now i&#039;m starting to have the brown discharge/spotting everyday, cramps, tender breasts, etc. literally have pregnancy symptoms and i&#039;m most definitely not pregnant. since the nexplanon was inserted in july i have gained all my pregnancy weight back (35lbs). i&#039;m already on depression medication and since i&#039;ve had the nexplanon it&#039;s like the medication doesn&#039;t even work. i&#039;m tired all the time and depressed. definitely do not recommend. only reason i gave it a 2 is because i didn&#039;t get pregnant."
