birth control
"In one week I will have had Nexplanon in for a year. Although it took two months to regulate, my period is now 5-7 days of light spotting every 2 months. I don't have acne, but I can't help but think a weight gain of 40 lbs in a year is related to it. I thought it broke at one time, but I had a doctor check it and he said the skin probably grafted around where it was bent from me checking it one time and stayed that way. My main issue is that sometimes I have this pain, like it's stabbing me in my arm every once in a while. Overall, I absolutely love Nexplanon. And I haven't gotten pregnant with my boyfriend, and we ALWAYS have unprotected sex, multiple times a week."
