I really enjoyed the implant for the first 12 months, however after this I started to spot more and more and for longer periods. These were also accompanied with increased fatigue and pain. The breakout bleeding than got progressively worse until the end of the 3 year period. Otherwise little to no symptoms which was made the increasing spotting so much more annoying!

The implant has been great for me. It went in my arm and healing was quite quick. After a few months my periods stopped entirely which I view as a positive. Every 3 months or so I get period like cramps but no bleeding and this is now my regular pattern. My skin improved slightly with less spots and there's been not other noticeable difference to myself.

Previously used Implanon for 6 years without any bleeding, switched to nexplanon and had regular periods initially and then they became heavy, painful, prolonged and unpredictable. Much preferred the previous version. Have had it taken out now and have changed to combi pill so will see how that goes.
