Nexplanon negatively affected my mood and periods. I bled/spotted for a year straight. Sometimes it was like a period, other times it would slow down to become brown spotting for days on end. When I did get it removed, my flesh had tried to absorb it? They had a difficult time removing it, and were digging around in my arm for a while. Though it was impanted where it should be, it had embedded itself deep into my arm within the year. No thanks.
