Birth Control
"Nexplanon is my first birth control. I have had it for about 5 months now. I had it inserted about 8 weeks after I had my first baby.  For the first week after it was inserted, I had a &quot;normal&quot; period and after that, it went away and I have not had another period at all (not even spotting!) I have not gained weight. I have not had any side effects. If you don&#039;t want periods, I think it works best if you are breastfeeding at the time you get it."
