"i started nexplanon in july of 2014. i had a period almost non-stop for a year with maybe 1-2 weeks break here and there. after the first 3 months i wanted it out, but my doctor encouraged me to wait a little longer since it can take time to adjust. so being the trooper i am, i left it in. after the first hellish year, i stopped having a period completely. that part was fantastic. i did experience bloating, insane mood swings and breakouts though. but of course, after a period-less year, i started bleeding nonstop again in june until a week ago when i finally had the implant removed. the other side effects were a lot already...add the non stopping bleeding and i just couldn&#039;t handle it. it just wasn&#039;t for me."
