The first few months after insertion I did not get my period, which was great. However it started to come back, infrequently and light at first. However within 18 months, my period was regular and heavy again. I have a lot of breakthrough bleeding and spotting with nexplanon as well. After 3 and a half years, I got a new implant inserted. This did not change my period at all. As time goes on, I think I have more spotting than I did before placing my first nexplanon. I still really like how easy it is to insert/be removed and how I can just forget about it for years at a time. I just wish it had lightened or stopped my period long term (as it had for many of my friends).

No major negative side effects (yet) the most annoying being the acne increase. The spotting doesn’t bother me, but having a period every 2-3 weeks is bothersome.
