endometriosis
"My doctor convinced me to try Nexplanon after years of extremely heavy and prolonged bleeding. I tried many types of oral contraceptives to control the bleeding but nothing helped. I had nexplanon inserted and had spotting for 3 months, my doctor said it would quit within 6. It didn't, so I was told to wait 12 months. Still bleeding every day, some heavier than others. I still had cysts and side effects similar to birth control. The only thing that stopped the bleeding was additional birth control pills. I kept it because up until 2.5 years I was told it would quit, and constant light bleeding was better than extremely heavy bleeding I experience on over half of days. The only positives were ease of insertion and effective birth control."
