"i&#039;ve only been on the nexplanon for a short period of time and i cannot stop bleeding. i bleed every single day and i use at least 4 tampons a day. it is not what i expected it to be, but other than that it works great. i used to be in depo and now i&#039;m glad that i don&#039;t have to be going to the doctor for a shot every 3 months. bleeding is the only downside."
