"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon inserted in october and i haven&#039;t really had any servere side effects... i gained a little bit of weight &amp; i get emotional from time to time, but other than that its been great besides the prolonged bleeding. i&#039;ve been on my period for about 3 weeks now... it started off heavy and now its simmering down. hopefully it&#039;ll stop soon. if not i&#039;m getting it removed."
