Nexplanon
birth control
"I received my implant in December 2015. It's now July 2016 and I have hardly stopped bleeding. There were 2, maybe 3 instances where I didn't bleed, but it lasted maybe a week and then I started again. Sometimes it's just spotting, but the majority of the time I feel like it's a full on cycle. I've also experienced weight gain (I was 170 when I got it and I'm now 207), and also it's hard to lose it. I'm constantly at the gym and eating right but I've maybe lost 2lbs. I've also experienced heightened anxiety and horrible mood swings. I wish this could have worked out. I like not having to take a pill, but I've made an appointment to have it removed. It may be right for some, but not for me."
