Birth Control
"Got the implant in July 2014 after giving birth to my daughter. No period and no bad side effects until June of this year when I stopped nursing. Then began the random bleeding (for anywhere from a few days to weeks at a time). I have gained weight about 10lbs, but I&#039;m not entirely sure if that is from Nexplanon or no longer nursing. All in all, it&#039;s not horrible, but I really don&#039;t like bleeding all the time!! I&#039;ve been thinking about having it removed, but we plan on trying to have another child late this coming spring, so I&#039;ll probably just try to hang in there a few more months before having it taken out. It is effective!"
