birth control
"I have only had Nexplanon since December 2015 (about 3 months) and so far it's awesome.  Yesterday my back started hurting like crazy and I felt completely off.  I became insanely bloated and had terrible cramps.  Sure enough an hour later, I started my period and overnight the bleeding stopped and everything was over.  It was an absolutely miserable 12 hour period, but if it only comes every 3 months for 12 hours, I'll take it! No weight gain (definitely a little bit of increased appetite but I refuse to give in to my appetite and I haven't gained anything.) My Melasma caused by Seasonique is GONE! (Primary reason for choosing Nexplanon) No depression or mood swings.  From what I read it seems everyone's experience has been different."
