I had the implant for 3 years!! I got it taken out when we started TTC. I had a great experience with nexplanon, I was on my period the day that I got the implant put in, when I woke up the next day it was completely gone. Over the course of those 3 years I spotted only a handful of times, and never for more than a day or so. I loved my nexplanon and had no noticeable side effects. If I do get back onto birth control that would probably be my first option!
@Anna i’ll definitely keep that in mind, i didn’t know it was that iffy!
@Casey that’s awesome news, also i’m hoping the best for you on your journey :)
Hey. I had the implant for 2 months and then demanded it was taken out. I bled the entire time, it made me really psychotic. I gained a lot of weight. However my friend has had the implant replaced 3 times and swears by it, doesn’t have any bleeding and no side effects. The nurse who took mine out said it was a 50/50 chance of whether it works for you or not
