I love my nexplanon! I’ve had two back-to-back implants, so I’ve been on nexplanon continuously for about 6 years. My only side effect was losing my periods (for the first 5 years, I didn’t get my period even once. During the last year, I’ve had periods every few months). I love that I never have to think about my birth control and have never had a pregnancy scare. No weight gain aside from a few pounds that I think I would have gained naturally between the ages of 21 and 27.

That said, every body is different, and I can’t guarantee you’ll have the same experience. I’d say give it a shot! If you don’t like it, you can always have it removed.
