Nexplanon
birth control
"I'm nineteen and got the implant in the middle of January 2016. In terms of actually controlling birth, Nexplanon is great. However, I've been bleeding nonstop since about a week after it was put in. There's a day here a there where I don't bleed or it's light spotting, but otherwise I've had a very literal period for almost eight months. I haven't dealt with any increased acne or weight gain, but it's now impossible for me to lose weight, where I had lost about sixty pounds in the year prior to starting this bc. Also, I have hysterical mood swings and find myself depressed and tired more intensely than ever before. If you're considering this option, proceed with caution when it comes to the side effects."
