birth control
"I've had Nexplanon for about a year and a half and finally made the appointment to get it removed. For the first month or two, everything was great and I had no bleeding. Then I bled for a month straight. Now I'll only get a period about every other month, but it'll last for 2-4 weeks. Most of them were random and spotty - the bleeding would stop for a day, then come back for a few and keep repeating this process. I'm still having spotting right now after a month of on-and-off bleeding/spotting. I haven't had any other noticeable side effects and it did help with my cramps, which used to be awful...but the cost of tampons and always having to carry them around with me isn't worth it. Definitely going back on the pill."
