Birth Control
"I had the nexplanon implant inserted in January and for a couple of months it was great. I didn&#039;t have any bleeding or cramps for about the first 2/3 months. Then I started having my period and it would last around 3 weeks. The first time this happened, I was annoyed but I thought maybe it was just a one off thing. Then about a month later, my period started again and lasted for 3 more weeks. I&#039;ve called my doctor and they say it&#039;s nothing to worry about, but it&#039;s incredibly annoying to be on your period for more than a week. I&#039;ve spent more time in the last 5 months on my period than off it. My doctor has recommended I try a birth control pill to regulate my periods, but I wouldn&#039;t recommend nexplanon. It&#039;s not worth the hassle."
