birth control
"I had the nexplanon implant inserted in January and for a couple of months it was great. I didn't have any bleeding or cramps for about the first 2/3 months. Then I started having my period and it would last around 3 weeks. The first time this happened, I was annoyed but I thought maybe it was just a one off thing. Then about a month later, my period started again and lasted for 3 more weeks. I've called my doctor and they say it's nothing to worry about, but it's incredibly annoying to be on your period for more than a week. I've spent more time in the last 5 months on my period than off it. My doctor has recommended I try a birth control pill to regulate my periods, but I wouldn't recommend nexplanon. It's not worth the hassle."
