birth control
"I had Nexplanon inserted June of this year. Since then I have had three periods, the first two lasted about two weeks. I am currently bleeding again and have been for almost a month. My gyno gave me bc pills to help regulate my period but once I finished those off, I immediately started bleeding again, heavier than before. Prolonged bleeding and also depressed mood have been the side effects I experienced.  I won't tell anyone NOT to try nexplanon, but I would tell them that everyone's experience will be different. It's a great form of bc since I basically bled the whole time, I couldn't even have sex!"
