before I had my son I never had a period with the nexplanon but after I have been spotting ever since and he is 3 months

I had it for 3 months and no weight gain and only had one period since being on it but I have mood swings

I got pregnant on the pill too! Lol I loved it because I didn't have any side effects AT ALL. But I got pregnant so I don't want to go back to it. I'm still sexually active. @emkasting

You can get it taken out whenever, but my insurance won't cover it until I need to take it out after my 3 years is up. 😞 Hoping it regulates itself. My sex drive is sorta coming back and my periods are still irregular but much much much lighter, and acne is better than it used to be.

Oh shit now I'm scared to get this, I read that the ones implanted in your arm cause less weight gain than like, the shot for example. Damn now I'll need to find something else haha I really don't wanna gain weight but I don't wanna go back on the pill, I got pregnant on it! Lol

I had all of that and I had a period for almost 8 months straight. it also ended up moving and I had to get it surgically removed. you can get it removed at any time; your doctor cannot force you to keep it.

I've gained about 20 pounds with it and mood swings plus no sex drive!!

My period is irregular but that's really it.

Oh gosh..Do you have to keep it in for 3 years or can you get it removed before then? @valerie_jean

I have all of those symptoms and I'm on nexplanon. Acne, weight gain, mood swings, my periods are fucked up, no sex drive.. Can't wait until my 3 years is up.
