Birth Control
"I have had Nexplanon since May 2014.  At first it was going really well - I didn&#039;t have any side effects and didn&#039;t get a period for about 6-8 months.  Then when I finally got one it was VERY heavy and lasted for about a month.  After that, I started getting them every few months (still not that bad).  Starting in December it has really gone haywire.  I get a period just about every other week and the last one was so heavy and disgusting that I can&#039;t take it anymore.  Before this, I was relatively cramp free and my periods were very light.  Now it is just too much.  I have an appointment to get this out a week from today.  Only positive is I did not get pregnant."
