birth control
"I got mine three years ago and literally just got back from having it removed. I bleed for the first 4-6 months regularly and was scared it would never stop (like some other people said theres never did) but I stuck it out and it stopped. In the past 5 months (ending of third year) I had a super light period three times. No changes in skin, possibly could have contributed to emotional distresses and weight gain but other things changed in my life too so I can not say definitively that it was the nexplanon. I think some people are too quick to give up on it because they contribute all their changes to it and don't factor in everything else that could be contributing to their symptoms (eating, exercise, drinking, etc.)."
