Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had the Nexplanon in 2 and a half years now. I&#039;ve considered having it taken out twice in the last year or so as I was bleeding for around 2-3 weeks at a time. Doc put me on progesterone only pill for 3 months last year and this settled my periods but felt like it was too many hormones in my system as I was a bit of a psycho! Stopped taking them after 2 months but kept my periods regular for a good 6-9 months. Just been prescribed a combined pill for another 3 months to settle the irregular bleeding that has started again so I will see how that goes. I am considering getting it taken out soon. Only prob is I&#039;m weak at remembering the pill which is why I loved the worry free benefits of the Nexplanon despite the drawbacks!"
